Brief Overview

After completing my Bachelor and Master of Science in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, I joined at the Institute of Information Technology (IIT), University of Dhaka as a Lecturer. After that, I went to the Distributed Systems and Networking (DSN) group of Prof. Zahir Tari at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia to pursue my Doctorate Degree (Ph.D) in Computer Science specialized to Sensor Networks. I also had an opportunity to do my Post Doctoral Research Fellowship at the Department of Computing, University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. My one of the recent engagements was as the TST Consultant (Technical) at Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN).

Education and Research are my areas of passion. I have designed and implemented (as the Coordinator and Program Chair) the Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (BSSE) in 2008 and the Master of Science in Software Engineering (MSSE) degree in 2012. The novelty of these programs, from Bangladesh point of view, is the industry-academia collaboration through curriculum. Based on my experiences, I also have designed curriculums for Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), Home Economics College, etc. Since, Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) is my area of interest; I have been involved with number of Software need analysis projects.

I have received several research grants (ARC, UGC, MoST, etc.) and projects (HEQEP, BDREN etc.). My research activities include devising algorithms/techniques for Software Engineering processes in Distributed environments, investigating on Software Design, Software Test automation and Software Maintenance. The first Software Engineering research group of Bangladesh named as Distributed Systems and Software Engineering (DSSE) was established by me in 2012. Till date, having more than 60 members, this group has already conducted research and development on around 25 different domains in software engineering and accumulated around 150 publications in reputed journals and conferences
