Biography
I am a 5th year Ph.D. student at the University of Utah. My advisor is Professor Dr. Kate Isaacs. My current research is focused on data visualization, high-performance computing, and distributed computing. Right now, with Dr. Isaacs, I am working on the Traveler Project, an integrated graph visualization system for asynchronous multi-task execution. I am trying to improve the existing visualization of Traveler, incorporate additional performance data, and optimize backend data handling procedures. The performance data is collected from a sample run on Phylanx, a general-purpose computation system of distributed arrays to enhance operations over commodity cloud system, using OTF2 format and presented over WEB using D3.
I was born in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, and grew up there. In 2013, I finished my undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Dhaka. I earned my MS in the same subject from the same university in 2016. During my MS study, I worked with Professor Dr. Md. Abdur Razzaque in his Green Networking Research (GNR) Lab on the resource-sharing problem of co-located cognitive radio networks. At the end of my MS research, I developed a dedicated NS3 (network simulator 3) module for wireless regional area networks to simulate and test our solution methodology. While working on the NS3 module - distributed code execution and trace data accumulation with feature detection and visualization problems piqued my intention to work further in these fields. After working in the industry - as a software engineer - for more than two years, I've enrolled in a Ph.D. program and come abroad for higher study.
