Building safer and faster concurrent software.
I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at New Mexico Tech. My research is in computer systems, with a focus on concurrent and parallel computing, non-blocking data structures, and safe memory management.
About me
I earned my Ph.D. (Summer 2026) and M.S. (Spring 2025) in Computer Science and Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, advised by Professor Ruslan Nikolaev. I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from Islamic University of Technology (IUT), Bangladesh, in 2015.
My dissertation, Bridging the Gap Between Safe Memory Management and Non-Blocking Data Structures, examines how concurrent data structures can safely remove, reclaim, and reuse shared memory. I design algorithms, analyze their correctness and progress guarantees, and develop reproducible C and C++ research artifacts. I evaluate these systems on multicore hardware to study the tradeoffs among memory use, robustness, and performance.
Before graduate school, I spent more than six years in the software industry building and maintaining production web systems.

Teaching
At New Mexico Tech, I teach Introduction to Computer Science and Information Technology, Programming Fundamentals in C and its lab, and Assembly Language and Machine Organization. In Spring 2027, I will teach Programming Fundamentals in C and its lab, Object-Oriented Programming in C++, Systems Programming, and Computer Architecture. Previously, I served as a Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Systems Programming and Operating Systems Design and Construction at The Pennsylvania State University.
