Rahnuma Islam Nishat

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Brock University. 

I am interested in all kinds of problems and puzzles, and I am fascinated by mathematical problems with practical applications. Some of the areas that I have worked on are: reconfiguration of paths and cycles, graph drawing, additive manufacturing and 3D printing, graph theory, combinatorics, map folding, computational geometry, and data mining. My research is supported by an NSERC Discovery Grant. 

I was the PC-chair of CCCG 2024,  held at Brock University. I also served/am serving as a member of the Program Committee of WALCOM 2023 and 2025, EuroCG 2025, CCCG 2025. 

Before joining Brock Unversity, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, at the Toronto Metropolitan University, and at the University of Victoria.  I completed my PhD and MSc in Computer Science from the University of Victoria, BC, under the supervision of Dr. Sue Whitesides, and my BSc Engg. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, under the supervision of Dr. Md. Saidur Rahman.
