Hi, welcome to my portfolio! I’m Wasif Jalal, a PhD student in Computer Science at Arizona State University, advised by Dr. Asif Salekin in the Ubiquitous and Intelligent Sensing (UIS) Lab.

My research is at the intersection of deep learning and health. I study trustworthy and fair AI, foundation models for health, and interpretable models for biomedical informatics and bioinformatics. Before ASU, I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).

Outside research, I enjoy building full-stack web and mobile apps; you can find some of them on my Projects page.
