About Me

I am a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science at The University of Utah and a Graduate Research Assistant in the FuTURES³ Lab, advised by Dr. Stefan Nagy. My research lies broadly in automated software testing and program analysis, with an emphasis on improving the correctness and security of software transformation systems. I develop automated techniques for validating cross-language program translations using fuzzing and symbolic execution. My work has examined real-world transcompilers and uncovered more than 80 developer-confirmed bugs in widely used transcompilers. I occasionally write blog posts and CTF write-ups on systems and security topics. I also contribute to open-source software projects, including C2Rust, Node.js, and LLVM (selected activities).

I completed my MSc in Computer Science in 2025 at the University of Utah. Prior to that, I served as a Lecturer from 2019 to 2023 at the Department of Computer Science, Southeast University, and am currently on a study leave. Earlier, I earned my BSc Engg. degree in 2019 from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET).
