Welcome

I am PhD candidate at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Prof. Carl Gunter is my PhD advisor. I was also co-advised by Dr. Himanshu Khurana for my MS.

 

 

Research Interests

My research focus is security. Currently I am working in two projects, AMPol focusing on messaging security and ContessaNS focusing on Denial-of-Service.

 

 

Background

I started my graduate studies in UIUC in Fall '04, several months after finishing my undergrad in BUET, Bangladesh. The first two summers here I worked in NCSA, Security Research Division and that is how I got involved with AMPol, a collaborative project between Computer Science and NCSA. First two years I have been funded through the Sohaib and Sara Abbasi Fellowship from Computer Science department. Starting from Fall 06 I have been in Illinois Security Lab as a research assistant. This Spring '07 I am teaching assistant for CS463 - Computer Security Architecture class. I am giving some lectures in CS463. Look them up in the course webpage.
