I am a faculty member of Computer Science Department at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from August 2013. I am primarily interested in Distributed Systems, Pervasive Computing, Internet of Things, Multimedia Systems and Communication, Simulation and Modeling, Algorithms, Serious Games, Vehicular Networks, Computer Networking, and Surveillance Systems.

 

I devised a solution for Peer-to-Peer Massively Multiplayer Online Games and introduced a number of algorithmic solutions for improved gaming experience. I am co-investigator of two NPST funded research projects: 1) Privacy and Quality-aware Monitoring Framework for Public Security, and 2) Novel Pervasive Computing Approach in the form of Serious Games to Counter and Manage Obesity.

 

In the past, I was an Assistant Professor at the Dept. of Software Engineering, King Saud University. I was also Instructor/Part-time Professor/Assistant Professor at Carleton University (Canada), University of Ottawa (Canada), and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), respectively. I was a post-doctoral fellow at DISCOVER LAB conducting research on IBM surveillance project with Prof. Shervin Shirmohammadi and ACM DIVA (intelligent vehicular networks and their applications) project with Prof. Abdulmotaleb El Saddik.

 

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in December 2009, from the University of Ottawa, Canada. My advisor was Prof. Shervin Shirmohammadi. I completed M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2004 and 2002, respectively.

 

I received best student researcher award from Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation (OCRI), best paper and best poster award. I was recognized as a meritorious candidate by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and nominated for Industrial Research and Development Fellowship. I also received IEEE ICME quality reviewer award.
