I am a fifth year PhD student in Electrical & Computer Engineering department at University of Florida. Before I transferred to University of Florida, 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. I am a member of Dependable System Lab directed by Dr. Li. I am also a research intern at Argonne National Laboratory, supervised by Dr. Sheng Di. 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).
