About me
Md Toufique Hasan is a Doctoral Researcher at Tampere University focusing on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic RAG, and Agentic AI. His research explores how intelligent retrieval and reasoning agents can make LLMs more reliable, transparent, and grounded in real-world information. Toufique’s work combines system engineering, evaluation, and deployment of AI-driven knowledge systems across different domains.
