About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University, advised by Laurie Williams in the RealSearch Lab. Before that, I received my B.Sc and M.Sc in Software Engineering from the Institute of Information Technology (IIT), University of Dhaka, supervised by Dr. Mohammad Shoyaib. My research focuses on the intersection of Software Security and Machine Learning (ML), specifically software supply chain security, AI security, and privacy.

Most recently, I was a Research Intern at the Laboratory for Analytic Sciences (LAS) (May–Aug. 2026), where I built a pipeline to prioritize security controls against software supply chain attacks. Before my Ph.D., I worked as a Software Engineer at Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh and as a Software Engineer Intern at Datasoft Systems Bangladesh Limited.
