I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Planning at Dalhousie University, working in collaboration with CLIMAtlantic. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Dalhousie University, Canada. Prior to that, I completed an MSc in Computer Science at the University of New Brunswick, Canada, and a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Bangladesh.
I also hold an Assistant Professor position in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at DUET, Bangladesh (2013–Present), where I have been on leave since 2020. Previously, I served as a Lecturer in the same department from 2010 to 2013.
My research interests lie in spatial data systems and analytics, with a primary focus on spatio-temporal forecasting, GeoAI, and big spatial databases. My current research centers on two complementary themes:
Developing machine learning methods for learning spatio-temporal patterns and optimizing operations in spatial databases.
Applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to address challenges in intelligent transportation, urban computing, and climate and environmental modeling.
