I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Prof. Michael Franz in the Secure Systems and Software Lab.

My research sits at the conjunction of compiler and the machine it targets. My primary focus right now is on mitigating silent data corruption in large scale datacenters - the kind of quiet but catastrophic errors caused by defective hardware or even random particle strikes. For that, I build LLVM transformation passes to insert checks into the program that let a program detect transient hardware faults in itself. This checking instructions ensure that a corrupted value never escape into memory, a branch, or a call. I test the resilience of the hardened program using fault injection experiments accross differnt ISAs such as x86, Arm32, etc. To conduct fault injection experiments, I built a fault injection framework from the open source gem5 simulator. Those hands-on results are what drive my new mitigation strategies. Previously, I worked on cross-architecture binary translation, lifting legacy x86 binaries to LLVM IR and recompiling them for AArch64.

Before starting my PhD journey, I was a Lecturer in Computer Science at United International University in Dhaka. I taught several core programming lanugage courses including object-oriented programming and pattern recognition. Prior to that I built the backend of a nationwide high school admission system Link to XI admission system for Bangladesh’s Ministry of Education, which processed applications from 1.3 million students. I completed my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at CSE, BUET. I conducted my undergraduate thesis on reducing blockchain storage overhead via sharding the ledger under Dr. Muhammad Abdullah Adnan.
