About Me

Hello! I’m a Ph.D. student at Purdue University, working in Cyber2SLab (Fall '22–present) with Professor Elisa Bertino. My research sits at the intersection of deep learning and network security, with a focus on cellular network systems (4G/5G). I build data-driven and formal methods to make protocols safer and more reliable.

In Spring and Summer 2024, I was a research intern at Cisco Research, where I worked on code LLM security. Before Purdue, I was a Lecturer in the Department of ECE at East West University, Bangladesh and an adjunct faculty member at the Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX). I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in October 2018.

Broadly, I enjoy problems that combine rigorous modeling with real-world impact—protocol security, NLP and ML for technical domain and formal analysis. Outside of research, I like teaching, mentoring, and building reproducible tools to help others secure systems.
