I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Missouri–Kansas City, working in the Nano Computing Group under the supervision of Dr. Mostafizur Rahman. My current research centers on reconfigurable AI accelerators, with emphasis on microarchitecture development, mapping algorithm design, and performance modeling for low-power, high-throughput System-On-Chip. My focus areas include hardware execution models, data orchestration, diagnosing and mitigating memory bottlenecks, and end-to-end benchmarking for modern deep-learning workloads.   I previously collaborated with Dr. Arif Sobhan Bhuiyan and Dr. Selim Hossain where I contributed to projects in RFIC design and hardware security using public-key cryptography. These experiences give me a broad device-to-system foundation and drive my goal of bridging theory and implementation in next-generation computing architectures. 

At the University of Missouri–Kansas City, I currently serve as a Graduate Instructor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, teaching Logic Design (ECE-ENGR 226). Prior to this role, I served as a Graduate Lab Instructor, supporting Logic Design Lab (ECE-ENGR 227) and Introduction to Computer Design Lab (ECE-ENGR 229) through lab instruction, evaluation, and student mentoring. Previously, I was a Lecturer in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Hamdard University Bangladesh and the University of Global Village, teaching electronics, VLSI, and communication systems. 

My academic and research interests focus on computer architecture, AI accelerator design, and VLSI systems, with the goal of bridging research innovation with hands-on engineering education. I am particularly interested in integrating hardware–software co-design concepts into teaching while mentoring students through rigorous, application-driven learning experiences. I value integrity, a strong work ethic, and maintaining balance between professional growth and personal well-being. Outside work, I enjoy playing soccer and cricket, listening to music, and reading.
