Farzana Rahman, who earned a BSc in computer science and engineering in Bangladesh, completed a course‑based Master of Data Science at Memorial University and interned at the Centre for Analytics, Informatics and Research (CAIR), delivering client‑facing software including a web portal and predictive component for the Port of Argentia.
Rahman joined Memorial after a BSc from North South University (Dhaka). In her second semester she took a software developer internship at CAIR, supervised by PhD student Syed Faruk and associate director Jacqueline French.
