Academics

You can find a synopsis of my academic journey here. I hail from Bangladesh. I used to do a lot of olympiads and math competitions in high school (which has shaped a large part of my life-trajectory and how I think). I studied Electrical Engineering in undergrad (with a focus in Communications, Signal Processing and Electronics) at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. During that time, I became interested in (theoretical) Physics and self-studied most of the undergrad Physics curriculum alongside my EE degree. I got into Quantum Computing research during my undergraduate dissertation. After all this, I felt that I liked to do Physics and interdisciplinary stuff, but in a more rigorous and math-y setting. So, I went on to do a Masters in Applied Mathematics at Imperial College London (with a focus in Quantum Information).
I am currently teaching at the School of Data and Sciences at BRAC University, and doing research in Quantum Information/Computation. I think I have finally found a home in Applied Mathematics, and want to stay along the intersection of Mathematics and Quantum Computing in the next stages of my academic journey.
