Hello! Welcome to my virtual abode. I am Ferdous, a Data Scientist and Pauling fellow in the Data Science and Machine Intelligence group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. I am also affiliated with Computer Science at Purdue University as a Visiting Scholar. Before that, I was a Post-doctoral associate in CS at Purdue University, working with Prof. Alex Pothen. I completed my PhD in October 2021 from the same group. Before starting my PhD at Purdue, I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I also served as a faculty member at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST). I spent three summers as a PhD intern at Pacific Northwest National Lab and Nokia Bell Labs, NJ.

My research interest includes Combinatorial Optimization, Combinatorial Scientific Computing, High-Performance Computing, and Applied algorithms.
