Khandakar Ahmed (M’2014, SM’2011) completed his PhD Degree from the RMIT University, Australia in December 2014. During his PhD, he was an active scholar in the network research group of School of Engineering, where he explored Data Centric Storage (DCS) in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The study successfully proposed, developed and implemented a comprehensive DCS framework for WSN incorporating different query mechanism, similarity searching, load balancing and replication. The findings enhance the research into a scalable, accessible and sustainable, intelligent sensor network. Before joining Victoria University, Khandakar was a full-time Lecturer with the School of IT and Engineering (SITE), Melbourne Institute of Technology (MIT), Melbourne and a researcher in Australia-India Research Centre for Automation Software Engineering (AICAUSE), RMIT University (2016-2017). He has been with AICAUSE as a Post-Doctoral researcher before he takes the full-time position at MIT during 2015-2016. He received his M.Sc. in Networking and e-Business Centred Computing (NeBCC) under the joint consortia of University of Reading, UK; Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and Charles III University of Madrid (UC3M), Spain in 2011. He accomplished first place amongst all students in 2009 intake with 89% score. During his M.Sc. dissertation, he worked as a research assistance in Advance Computing and Emerging Technology (ACET) Centre, University of Reading (2010-2011). Khandakar completed his B.Sc. (Eng.) Degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Bangladesh, with an excellent CGPA of 3.92/4.0. He is the recipient of Victorian International Research Scholarship (VIRS) during his PhD, Erasmus Mundus Scholarship during his M.Sc., Chancellor and Vice Chancellor gold medallist for securing top position in entire university and school of applied science during his B.Sc. (Eng.). He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journals and conference papers. His research interests include Software Defined Networking (SDN), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Security and Big Data Analytics. He is serving as the program and publication chair of 2017 International Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (ITNAC’2017). He is also serving as the member of the editorial board of Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy (AJTDE). He has also been serving as a reviewer for several international A* journals and conferences.
