I am a lecturer at Institute of Information Technology (IIT), University of Dhaka (DU). At present, I am on a study leave to pursue my PhD. I have completed M.Sc. in Software Engineering from IIT, DU with thesis entitled "Steering System Execution towards Intensive Computations for Adaptive Software Performance Testing". I also received my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology (Major in Software Engineering) from here. As a part of my bachelor program, I worked at Grameenphone Ltd. Bangladesh as an intern from July to December 2011. I am currently a member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and Technical Council on Software Engineering.
I consider myself as a bookworm who
is not biased to any particular genre. I can get engage with any book - it
could be comics, crime thrillers, biographies or even encyclopedias. I used to
participate in Quiz competitions and came to know about many topics by reading different
books. I also like to travel and books help a lot to alleviate those traveling
experiences. To most people, walking on an old street of Calcutta may seem
boring. However, I strolled around such streets and was thrilled as stories of my
childhood heroes, “Byomkesh” and “Feluda”, evolved around those places. And last but not the least, I love trying different types of food and my traveling helps a lot on that aspect.
The broad domain of my research is Automated Software Engineering. To be more specific, I like to address the challenges which are involved in automating any steps of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Although, I would mainly prefer to work with software architecture and testing related issues.
I am a member of the Distributed Systems and Software Engineering research group at IIT. Being a part of the group, I focus on adaptive software performance testing. The main purpose of this research is to automatically suggest performance hotspots within a large scale web application. To do so, we frequently need to use the concepts of machine learning. Besides, I have also worked on a project addressing system’s scalability using formal approaches.
I occasionally try to contribute in the work of IIT, DU Optimization Research Group. My specific interest is on software design issues that involve optimization and different meta-heuristic algorithms. At present, we are trying to develop a solution that will automatically propose a component based design (having high cohesion and low coupling) from legacy code written in procedural language.
Currently, I have a growing interest to work on automated software verification techniques that involve issues like software performance, scalability and reliability. Some of the challenges are - modelling system’s behavior and generating counter examples in terms of performance issues, resolving conflict for properties of different nature, etc.
