I am a research scientist at Meta, where I am working with the WhatsApp Core Consumer Messaging team, contributing to system and infra research for WhatsApp messaging.

I received my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in May 2026. I am advised by Dr. Joanna Cecilia da Silva Santos, Professor at the University of Notre Dame, and I was a graduate research assistant at the s2e-lab.

My research focuses on Software Engineering, Software Security, Code Generation, and Applied Machine Learning. You can find my publications on my Google Scholar profile.

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.
