I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Computational Visualization (CVC), Institute for Computational Engineering & Sciences (ICES), University of Texas at Austin. I work with Dr. Chandrajit Bajaj. I received my Ph.D. in 2007 from the Department of Computer Sciences, UT Austin, working under Dr. Vijaya Ramachandran. The title of my dissertation was "Cache-efficient Algorithms and Data Structures: Theory and Experimental Evaluation". I received my BS degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology. My undergraduate supervisor was Dr. Mohammad Kaykobad. Research Interests       ¤ Design and analysis of algorithms: combinatorial algorithms, especially,       - Algorithms for massive datasets: external-memory, cache-oblivious, streaming, parallel, etc.       - Algorithms for multicore computing.       - Graph algorithms: static and dynamic, exact and approximate, etc.       ¤ Design and analysis of data structures: data structures for combinatorial problems.       ¤ Bioinformatics and Computational Biology       - structure-based drug design, protein-protein docking, protein flexibility, sequence alignment, etc.       ¤ Experimental algorithmics. Fun Stuff       ¤ My Erdös Number is 3. Click here to see how.       ¤ Click here for my acedamic genealogy extracted from the Mathematics Genealogy Project. The genealogy is based on advisor-advisee relationships, and it traces back to the 17th century German mathematician Erhard Weigel through Seimeon Poisson, Joseph Lagrange, Leonhard Euler, Johann and Jacob Bernoulli, and Gottfried Leibniz.
