Whoami?

I have been working as a GPU Partition Physical Design Engineer at Apple Inc. since January 2022. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Florida International University and a Bachelor's degree from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Before My Ph.D. enrollment, I served PrimeSilicon Technology (BD) Ltd. as an ASIC Physical Design Engineer for about two years. My primary research interests include hardware security, secured computer architecture, secure and efficient memory management, and emerging memory technologies. I am also interested in Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics from the security perspective.

Please find my curriculum vitae here.
