Biography

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in 2010. Prior to that, I received B.Sc. Degree from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, and M.Sc. degree from Queen’s University, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Since winter 2013, I joined the faculty of the University of Alberta Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering as an Assistant Professor.

             Before returning to academia, I have spent several years in industrial research. From September 2007 to January 2008, I was with Intel Circuit Research Lab (CRL) as a graduate intern. From 2008 to 2010, I was with Gennum Corp. in the Analog and Mixed Signal division where I focused on the development of world’s highest capacity and most power efficient cross point router solution. Following that, I joined Rambus Lab as a senior member of technical staff. At Rambus, my research focused on advanced equalization and clock recovery techniques for high-speed interfaces. My  research interests include mixed-signal circuits for high-speed chip-to-chip communications, equalization and clock recovery techniques.

             I  won the best student paper award at the 2008 IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits (CICC) Conference. I also won Analog Device’s outstanding student designer award in 2010.
