Mohibul Alam

I’m Mohibul Alam, a computer science student at Queensborough Community College (CUNY), working on machine learning and cancer genomics with the NIH All of Us Research Program. This is where I keep my life: the work I do, the things I love, and the days in between. It grows a little every day, starting 7 November 2026.
