Meet Shahin Hossain

As the Founder and CEO of the Artificial Intelligence Education & Research Corporation (AIERC), I lead a 15-member team of Ph.D. researchers advancing AI-powered solutions for education. Our work spans R&D on generative AI applications, development of personalized learning tools, AI literacy curriculum design, and policy advocacy. I also direct strategic partnerships, investor engagement, and high-impact programs like the AIERC Tenure-Track Readiness Initiative, which prepares doctoral students for faculty careers at research-intensive universities. Through AIERC, I bridge research and real-world innovation—helping institutions reimagine teaching, learning, and leadership for the AI era.

At UMBC, I coordinate teacher candidate placements, manage school district partnerships, and act as interim director when needed. I design professional development workshops and lead statewide reporting for metrics like Title II, TPAR, and MSDE evaluations—supporting equity, transparency, and excellence in educator preparation.

Led mixed-methods studies on dual-language education and children’s spirituality. Designed surveys distributed to 50,000+ early childhood educators, conducted large-scale analysis, and co-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals. Co-organized the Sherman Center Research Conference to bridge research, policy, and practice.

Taught Bengali language and South Asian culture at FSU as a Fulbright scholar. Led intercultural events, developed language curriculum, and delivered public lectures on religion, identity, and global leadership. Served as cultural ambassador and built lasting partnerships across campus.
