Experience: Senior Software Engineer, Samsung Research and Development Center, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Research Interests: Broadly speaking, my research areas encompass a data-driven Internet of Connected Things (IoCT), safety and security of IoCT, connected Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), data-driven smart city planning, and urban computing under the big umbrella of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The ultimate goal of my research work is to utilize meticulous data analysis knowledge to develop and design scalable, robust, and trustworthy systems which have the knowledge of both environmental and user perspectives. Also, this goal includes understanding the privacy leakage, vulnerabilities, and security threats of the system using the side-channels information associated with the data.
