I am a final-year PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida, advised by Dr. Guanpeng Li. I began my doctoral studies in 2021 and expect to graduate in Spring 2027.

My research focuses on developing reliable and data-efficient computing systems, spanning high-performance computing (HPC) and intelligent systems. My work has been published at leading venues, including SC, IPDPS, and ICDE. I was also named the finalist for Graduate Research Excellence Award in 2025.

Before beginning my doctoral studies, I worked as a software engineer at Samsung Research, Bangladesh (2019–2021). I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2019.

I am on the job market this year!
