Short Bio

I am an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Western Washington University, starting in Fall 2025. My academic journey began with a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, followed by a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of South Florida, where I focused on the security and reliability of physiological closed-loop control systems, hardware security, and AI/ML for resource-constrained devices. 

Following my doctorate, I worked as a Postdoctoral Electronics Engineer at Argonne National Laboratory, contributing to firmware development and debugging for the ATLAS experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Before joining Western, I served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Mississippi.

Research Interests

My research focuses on enhancing the safety and reliability of Physiological Closed-Loop Control Systems (PCLCS) and designing energy-efficient security solutions for resource-constrained IoMT edge devices. I develop techniques to mitigate faults in PCLCS, enabling more reliable and secure medical devices and laying the groundwork for future innovations in IoMT. My interest spans several broader areas, including: 

• Physiological Closed-Loop Control Systems (PCLCS) – Fault detection and mitigation in medical devices

• Hardware Security & Trust – Energy-efficient security for resource-constrained edge devices

• Embedded & Reconfigurable Systems – Optimized, low-power architectures

• AI at the Edge – Real-time analytics and decision-making

• Cyber-Physical Systems Security – Resilience in interconnected systems

• Biosignal Modeling & Diagnostics – Real-time physiological monitoring

Through my research, I aim to advance the safety, reliability, and security of medical and cyber-physical systems, enabling trustworthy, energy-efficient IoMT solutions and fostering innovation at the edge.
