I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Computer Science, University of  Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My advisor is Prof. Marianne Winslett. I am also co-advised by Prof. Radu Sion of SUNY-StonyBrook. I am primarily interested in Computer Security Trust Management, and Storage Systems research. My PhD dissertation topic is secure provenance, a problem that we defined and are attempting to solve.

Some of my previous projects include :

Research Group
I have started working towards my PhD in Fall 2003. I am currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant with Prof. Marianne Winslett of the Computer Science Department. I'm a member of the Trust Management and Compliance Storage Group. In the past, I have worked at the Radio Astronomy Imaging Group at National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) with Dr. Athol Kemball. Before that, I have worked at the PABLO research group with Professor Daniel Reed, who is currently a Professor at the University of North Carolina and the founding director of Renaissance Computing Institute.

I was also a member of NCSA Storage Security and Survivability Group (StorageSS) where I worked with Bill Yurcik. I did a summer Research Assistantship with this group in Summer 2005 and developed a Threat model for storage Systems. In Summer 2006, we analyzed storage security breach statistics, and created a publicly-accessible database for breach incidents.

Background

I got a Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2003. I graduated Summa-Cum-Laude in my class and received the Chancellor Award, given by the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, for securing the highest CGPA in my year. I am an active wikipedia editor and an administrator there since August 2005. I also write technical articles, one of which, on the History of Linux, has been translated to 8 languages and published in mainstream magazines.
