Hello !

I am from Bangladesh, a beautiful South Asian country marked by lush greenery and thousands of waterways. Currently, I am working as a graduate research assistant (GRA) in the complex network and security research (CNSR) lab at Virginia Tech. My focus is to analyze the cybersecurity of any networked systems by applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect anomalies in the spatio-temporal network data. My current domains are autonomous vehicles and spectrum access systems for 5G.

I completed my B.Sc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) in 2016. After my graduation, I joined Uttara University, Dhaka as a Lecturer in the department of Computer Science and Engineering. I also worked as an Assistant Engineer for Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB). In 2020, I completed my master's degree in Computer Engineering from Florida International University with a thesis on deception defense for secure hierarchical cyber-physical systems against stealthy cyberattacks.
