About Me

Currently, I am working as a Staff Scientist at National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), The Australian National University (ANU), Australia. My role includes: (1) Pro-actively providing assistance in implementing, enhancing and adopting parallel algorithms, or other performance-enhancing improvements, into existing projects, and scientific community project support in areas prioritized by NCI. (2) Liaising with user communities and other NCI staff to modify and manage specialist user community software, to be hosted on NCI facilities and services. (3) Organizing, participating in, and assisting in the development of courses, specialized training, documentation and online materials for the NCI user community. (4) Liaising with and assisting other staff of NCI on the support of integrated services and workflows that span the facility and other interoperable resources. (5) Keeping abreast of developments in supercomputer applications, architectures and high performance computing generally.

My PhD research work was aligned with fault tolerance in distributed parallel computing targeted for peta and exascale systems. Considering the unreliable underlying hardware support how we can write an efficient fault-tolerant application was the main area to explore. Recovering from faults aimed at applying algorithm-based techniques, something similar to Google's famous MapReduce framework, which were able to tolerate process-level failures, as well as, node failures.

I worked as a Research Assistant at School of Information Technology, Deakin University (Melbourne Burwood Campus), Australia. I conducting data mining and machine learning based research for detecting faulty software modules. Since most of the budget of a software development project is allocated for testing the developed product, this research reduces the total number of modules to be tested to only the detected faulty modules, and therefore, minimizes the testing cost of the developed software product.

I worked as a Research Intern at Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe Ltd, London, United Kingdom. I conducted research basically on the techniques of recovering application processes which were failed prior to finishing their computations. These recovered processes then could be mapped to the same (if alive) or spare node for recomputing their own tasks.

I obtained an MSc degree from the Department of Computer Science (CSD) of Western University (UWO), Canada, in December 2011. The primary area of research was the optimization of the shared memory parallel computation on multi-core machines. The target application was the simplification of systems of polynomial inequations by eliminating redundant expressions that may occur during intermediate computations. This was achieved by applying the basic divide-and-conquer approach.

With more than three years of University Teaching at Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Bangladesh, I conducted research on several fields including location management of wireless mobile networks, performance enhancement of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), text summarization techniques, optimization of algorithms, and so on.

As an Instructor at Cisco Networking Academy Program (CNAP), Local Academy, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Bangladesh, for more than two years, I conducted theoretical classes and hands-on labs on Cisco Exploration Version 4.0. I worked on different models of Cisco Switches and Routers, performed physical connections between them, their configurations, management, and troubleshooting and testing of the designed network.

I obtained a BSc Engg degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Bangladesh, in March 2007. The research I conducted as an undergraduate student was on the location management of wireless mobile networks. In this research, it was explored that how efficiently a mobile node's recent location can be found when it moved from one location to another.

I have north-American teaching assistantship experience at the Western University (UWO), Canada, and Australiasian teaching assistantship experience at The Australian National University (ANU), Australia.

Moreover, I have been awarded several scholarships, awards, and medals for showing excellence in several areas.
