Researcher · Educator · Technology & Team Leadership
Curious about technology.
Committed to learning and meaningful work.
I am a PhD student in Digital and Cyber Forensics at Sam Houston State University, where I work as a Graduate Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant. My interests connect cybersecurity, digital investigation, AI, and practical problem solving.
My experience spans research, classroom and lab support, technology support, and banking. Before starting my doctoral studies, I worked in customer relationships, banking due diligence and team leadership. I also serve as President of the Bangladesh Student Association at SHSU.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Research Experience
From recovered artifacts to reviewable findings.
Android & AI reporting
Direct examination of Android evidence and evaluation of reports generated through three LLM APIs.
Six reports and 612 claims evaluated for evidence support, citation validity, and fact recall.
Windows memory forensics
Process-level dataset construction and reliability-oriented evaluation of rule-derived classification.
45 dumps, 1,899 process records, and 18 features. Labels represent documented rules.
Quantum security
Simulation-based QKD attack classification and forensic interpretation of operational log patterns.
Two synthetic datasets, each with 5 million records. Cross-generator tests examine changed conditions.
TEACHING & EDUCATION
Learning, investigating,
and helping others learn.
As a Teaching Assistant, I conduct lab classes, proctor examinations, grade exam responses, and tutor students outside scheduled class hours.
