Biography
I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Kennessaw State Unviersity. I have completed my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at UTSA, advised by Dr. Mimi Xie . I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science & Engineering from KUET, Bangladesh. Prior joining to Ph.D. program, I worked in several computer software industry as a skilled full-stack software engineer. Our research has been appeared at prestigious top tier venues such as ICCAD, DATE, TCAD. Our team (HuskyCS Deepical) also won first place in accuracy and fourth place overall at the 2022 ACM/IEEE TinyML Design Contest at ICCAD, among 150 teams from 10+countries.
I study deep learning from a computational perspective, with a focus on optimizing memory, computation, and energy efficiency in resource-constrained environments.
I investigate how these models can be deployed as secure services, enabling efficient inference without exposing sensitive model parameters. As AI continues to scale rapidly, conventional computing architectures are becoming increasingly unsustainable, making energy-efficient and private AI a central challenge for next-generation intelligent systems.
Research Interests:
- AI on the Edge
- Private AI
- Energy-Efficient AI
I am looking for motivated PhD student. Applicants demonstrating strong research interest will be given preference.
