Hello! I am Tarannum Zaki!
Currently, I am a PhD candidate in the department of Computer Science at the Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
My PhD advisor is Dr. Michele C. Weigle. I am a member of the Web Science and Digital Libraries (WS-DL) research group. I am working with Dr. Weigle and Dr. Michael L. Nelson on finding attribution of screenshot content of social media posts shared on social media using services of live web and web archives.
About
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2016. I also completed my Master's degree in CSE from the same institute in February 2021. I joined ODU in Spring 2022 to pursue PhD in Computer Science. Before starting my doctoral program, I was appointed as a lecturer in the department of CSE at MIST.
I have always believed in the motto ‘Gain knowledge and Spread knowledge’. During my educational period, I got the opportunity to look into several concerning issues where computer science applications brought about manifold useful findings, particularly where human behavior and cognitive science are involved and did a number of research works. Being in the profession of teaching, I was fortunate enough to explore different types of students and this taught me that every individual possesses some potential. They just require some encouragement and a suitable environment to nurture their abilities. Hence, I have always been passionate about the teaching profession as well as research and aim to establish myself in academia's esteemed position. I have fallen back multiple times during my educational period but have been always determined to stick to the goal. My profile represents my inquisitiveness towards versatility, perseverance, hard work, and admiration for research and spreading knowledge.
Apart from my educational background and research interest, I am very much into handicrafts and paper crafting. I am a pet lover and keen towards micro-greens gardening. My other topics of interest include cartography and human psychology. During my leisure hours, I often explore these topics to gain valuable insights.
