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 am serving as the Organizing Co-Chair of GD 2026, to be held at Brock University. I was the PC-chair of CCCG 2024, held at Brock University. I served/am serving as a member of the Program Committee of WALCOM (2023, 2025, 2026), EuroCG 2025, CCCG (2025, 2026); Steering Committee of CCCG (2023-2026).
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.
The 34th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Information Visualization (GD26) will be held at Brock University, Ontario, Canada on August 19-21, 2026.
Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs and constitutes the algorithmic core of Network Visualization. Graph Drawing and Network Visualization are motivated by applications where it is crucial to visually analyze and interact with relational datasets. Examples of such application areas include data science, social sciences, Web computing, information systems, biology, geography, business intelligence, information security and software engineering.
The symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization has been the main annual event in this area for more than 30 years. Its focus is on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing as well as the design of network visualization systems and interfaces.
Our paper "Approximation algorithms for maximum weighted internal spanning trees in regular graphs and subdivisions of graphs won the Wikes award.
The 36th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2024) took place from July 17th – 19th at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, situated in the beautiful Niagara region.
