I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA, working under the supervision of Dr. Joanna Cecilia da Silva Santos, Assistant Professor, in the broad area of Software Security. Currently, I am a graduate research assistant at the s2e-lab.
I am an incoming Ph.D. intern at Meta (formerly Facebook) for summer 2025. I will be working with the WhatsApp Core Consumer Messaging Groups & Communities, more specially with LLM applications in WhatsApp Group Chat.
My research focuses on Software Engineering, Software Security, Code Generation, and Applied Machine Learning. You can view my publications on my Google Scholar profile.
I completed my Master’s in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA, in August 2024, following my Ph.D. proposal defense.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in March 2021. Before graduation, I worked at LEADS Corporation Ltd. in the FinTech sector. Afterward, I joined REVE Systems, where I contributed to enterprise software solutions for the Bangladesh Parliament.
During my undergraduate studies, I collaborated with Dr. Anindya Iqbal, Professor at BUET, on research in the Software Engineering field as part of my thesis.
Pro Bono Support for Bangladeshi Undergraduate Students
As part of my commitment to giving back to the community, I am offering pro bono services to help undergraduate students from Bangladesh navigate their academic careers, especially those interested in pursuing graduate studies and research opportunities in the USA. My focus is on guiding students interested in computer science and engineering.
If you'd like to discuss graduate study options, research opportunities, or receive guidance on applications, you can schedule an appointment using the link below. Although multiple slots are available on weekdays and weekends, I kindly ask that you try to choose a slot over the weekend or outside my office hours (9 AM to 6 PM) on weekdays. Due to time constraints, it is challenging for me to manage more than 5 to 6 hours per week for these sessions, so appointments will be approved based on my availability.
