Research
My professional research focuses mostly on cloud infrastructure, primarily on the Salesforce domain. I have given subsequent talks in Cactusforce, a community conference for Salesforce Developers and Architects. My domain of expertise in Data Security (sharing and visibility in Salesforce world) and Code architecture.
My academic research focused on Cybercrime, specifically on Dark Web. I’ve developed a dark web application which extracts and visualize content in order to find illicit and violent extremist information. More details about the research project can be found at my project section of the website. I’ve published multiple papers in 2016 which has been listed below.
I have completed my thesis at the University of Lethbridge. I worked in the area of scientific software and combinatorial optimization under the supervision of Dr. Shahadat Hossain, Associate Professor. My thesis is titled as “Design Structure and Iterative Releases of Scientific Software”. We implemented a DSM partitioning algorithm using sparse matrix data structure CRS, and its timing was better than those obtained from the most widely used C++ library boost. Secondly, we computed several architectural complexity metrics, compared releases and total release costs of a number of open source scientific research software. Finally, we integrated scientific software into a larger system in order to estimate integration effort using COCOMO II model. As a part of research work, I have developed two software: “Statistical Toolkit for Software Code Base (STSCB)” and “Automatic Differentiation using determination of sparse Jacobian matrix(ADDSJM)”.
