Hi there,  thank you for dropping by! My name is Tahseen, and I’m a Master in Public Policy (MPP) [Data and Research Methods- Track] Student at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, specializing in AI/ML.

At Harvard, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant of Professor Jim Waldo in IGA-538 Technology, Privacy and the Transnational Nature of the Internet course for two consequtive years. I also worked with Jim Waldo as a Research Collaborator where we worked on westernized social media algorithms and its' local impact. I have been actively involved in AI, machine learning and computer science research and MIT-Harvard AI hackathons.

Before coming to Harvard, I graduated with highest CGPA from the University of Dhaka, with a concentration in Economics and Policy. During my undergraduate years, I received multiple prestigious academic awards, won a national development competition, and published research on labor markets, economic outcomes, and the intricate dynamics of politics and policy.

Outside academia, I co-founded Dumpy, a clean-tech startup where I served as Chief Business Officer (CBO) to modernize Bangladesh’s decades‑old scrap aggregation industry. I’m also the co-founder of The Confluence which was Bangladesh’s first English-language policy blog aimed at globalizing the nation’s policy discourse. I also serve as a student politician of the former government party of Bangladesh (comprised of 5 million youth activists) where I’ve advised policymakers. [Check out]
