About me

I am Alim Ul Gias, a Lecturer in Programming at Queen Mary University of London. I hold a PhD in Computing from Imperial College London and have nearly a decade of academic experience across institutions in both the UK and Bangladesh. Before joining Queen Mary, I was a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at City, University of London, and a Research Associate at the Centre for Parallel Computing, University of Westminster.

Earlier in my career, I served as a Lecturer at the Institute of Information Technology, University of Dhaka, where I also completed my M.Sc. in Software Engineering and B.Sc. in Information Technology. As part of my undergraduate studies, I interned at Grameenphone. My research broadly focuses on software engineering and distributed systems, with a growing interest in computing education. More details are available on my Research page.

Beyond Academia 

I consider myself a bookworm, with no particular preference for genre—I enjoy everything from comics and crime thrillers to biographies and encyclopedias. My love for books led me to participate in quiz competitions, where I had the chance to learn about a variety of topics from different perspectives.

I also love to travel, and books often enhance my experiences. Walking through the old streets of Calcutta might seem ordinary to some, but for me, it was like stepping into the worlds of my childhood heroes, Byomkesh and Feluda.

And of course, I am a passionate foodie—exploring local cuisines is an essential part of my travels!
