I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. I obtained my MS in Computer Science from the University of Toronto in 2004 and my BS in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2002.  I received University Gold Medal and Sharfuddin Gold Medal from BUET for obtaining the highest CGPA in the whole university and in my department, respectively. At present I am working on Three-Dimensional Networks. I am a member of Wireless Networks Laboratory where my advisor is Prof. Zygmunt Haas.
