I am a final year PhD candidate in Electrical & Computer Engineering department at University of Florida. Before I moved to University of Florida with my advisor, I was in the fourth year of my PhD in Computer Science at University of Iowa (2021-2025). I received my Master's degree in Computer Science from University of Iowa in Spring 2024. I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Guanpeng Li and co-advised by Dr. Xiaoyi Lu. Before beginning my doctoral studies, I spent two years (2019–2021) working at Samsung Research, Bangladesh. Prior to that, I earned my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (2015-2019).

I am on the job market this year!
