Kazi Mahir Adeeb’s life began on unstable ground—quite literally. As a child, he watched noodles writhe on the floor and heard voices echo from empty rooms, early hallucinations that marked the beginning of a long, disorienting battle with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Yet the same mind that made the world tremble beneath his feet would eventually become the engine of his intellectual ambition, resilience, and global promise.
Growing up in Khulna, Bangladesh, Adeeb navigated years of inner turmoil while excelling academically and nurturing a profound curiosity for science and technology. His psychological struggles intensified during adolescence, culminating in a life-threatening crisis shortly after losing his father—the person who had been his emotional anchor. Recovery forced him into a confrontation with his own identity. But it also offered a revelation: his psychiatrist reframed his mind not as broken, but as exceptionally powerful—capable of the kind of brilliance seen in history’s greatest innovators. This became the turning point that sparked his pursuit of greatness rather than survival.
From that turning point, Adeeb rebuilt his life with unwavering determination. He returned to academics and innovation with the clarity of someone who had fought for his own existence and refused to surrender. His achievements quickly began reflecting the depth of his potential. One of his most defining milestones was earning the Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition Gold Award, selected from tens of thousands of entries across 56 Commonwealth nations—a recognition of his clarity, originality, and profound depth of thought. He earned the Scholar’s Laureate Award (Highest Distinction) from Immerse Education, won the Bangladesh AI Olympiad preliminary round, and was selected as a TKS Scholar, joining one of the world’s most elite youth innovation programs.
Simultaneously, Adeeb began shaping himself into an emerging thinker at the intersection of technology, ethics, and global policy. His personal journey inspired a unique research philosophy that he calls Constraint-Based Autonomy, a model for self-evolving yet ethically bounded AI. This idea forms the core of his sole-authored manuscript, now under peer review, marking his entrance into theoretical AI research at a remarkably young age.
His academic interest expanded into global governance and ethics through certifications with UNITAR, UNECE, and UN CC:Learn, where he trained in climate policy, gender policy, and international frameworks. He has also co-authored research in astrophysics and published multiple international articles, demonstrating both depth and range in his intellectual pursuits.
Beyond research, Adeeb has immersed himself in applied industry experience—including AWS Solutions Architecture, Electronic Arts Software Engineering, and Deloitte technology simulations—building a foundation that blends theory with real-world technical fluency. His commitment to community is equally strong: through Rightsight Limited, he has taught English to underprivileged children, reinforcing his belief that education is a force for dignity, mobility, and hope.
But Adeeb’s journey is not defined by credentials alone. It is defined by the courage to confront a mind that often turned against him—and to turn that adversity into creative, scientific, and moral strength. He continues to live with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, not as limitations, but as forces that have refined his discipline, empathy, and purpose. His dream is to study at MIT and become a computer scientist, ethical AI architect, and entrepreneur—using his perspective to build technologies that uplift humanity rather than harm it.
From the moving floor of his childhood hallucinations to the unmoving will that now drives his academic and personal mission, Kazi Mahir Adeeb stands as a testament to what it means to fight for brilliance in the face of overwhelming darkness. His life is not one of survival, but of transformation—and his journey has only just begun.
