About Me

 

I have finished my PhD from the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of California, Riverside. I come from a beautiful small country, Bangladesh.

 

 

Research

 

My research area is Data Mining, Time Series Analysis, Information Retrieval, and Pattern Recognition. Currently I am doing my PhD under the supervision of the most brilliant person I have ever seen, Professor Dr. Eamonn Keogh. My DBLP is here. My Google Scholar profile is here.
