Hi, I am Md. Iftekharul Islam Sakib.
I am from Mymensingh, one of the most beautiful cities of a piece of heaven named Bangladesh which is located on the southern part of Asia. With a very big heart, Bangladeshi people feel happy to live in harmony and endure difficulties of life altogether. That is why we are the eighth happiest country in the world in spite of being one of the most densely populated countries.
As of November 2019, I am a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC). Before that, I served the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) as an Assistant Professor and currently in study leave for higher studies. I accomplished my M.Sc. & B.Sc. from the same department in 2014 & 2018 respectively, and joined my alma mater as a lecturer just after my graduation in 2014. Earlier, I passed Secondary School Certificate (S.S.C.) from Mymensingh Zilla School in 2006 and Higher Secondary School Certificate (H.S.C.) from Shahid Syed Nazrul Islam College, Mymensingh in 2008.
I desire to do new, innovative, and compelling works that will be helpful for all classes of people. I will consider myself successful if any of my works can bring a smile to the hard-fought life of ill-off people. My interests lie primarily in networking and systems. Specifically, I am interested in the following research paradigms:
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
- Network Security
- Systems Security
