I am a PhD candidate in computer science at Old Dominion University. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from BRAC University in 2008.

Research

My primary research interest is in Stochastic System Modeling. I am currently working with Dr. Stephan Olariu on modeling Stochastic Epidemics. Lately, I am looking at Stem cell proliferation, growth and homeostatis. In August, 2012 I have successfully completed PhD proposal defense and hope to defend my thesis titled "Modeling tissue cell population dynamics" by the end of 2013.

Past projects include work in parallel implementation of asian option pricing in IBM cell programming environment under Dr. Mohammad Zubair.

Personal

I am an avid Soccer(internationally Football) fan and player. I have been following AC Milan since early 90s. Ever since I joined ODU , I have played in each of the intermural soccer tournaments and all the time my team is improving. Spring '11 was our best one as we reached the men's final.
