Biography http://users.eecs.northwestern.edu/~mmh683/#
I am currently a 2nd year Ph.D. (in Computer Science) student at Department of EECS in McCormick School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Northwestern University. I am working under the supervision of Prof. Goce Trajcevski, and co-advised by Prof. Peter Scheuermann.

I am affiliated with Computer Engineering and Systems research group.

My primary research interests lie in Moving Object Databases; Spatial Databases; Data Management in Wireless Sensor Networks; Big Data; Computational Geometry.

I worked as a Software Engineer at Cefalo AS from October, 2012 - August, 2013.

I worked as a Jr. Software Engineer at REVE Systems from April, 2012 - August, 2012.

I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science & Engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) in March, 2012. I completed my undergrad thesis under the supervision of Dr. Mohammed Eunus Ali.

I interned at CIBL Technlogy Ltd., Bangladesh in 2009.

Soccer, Cricket & Computer Gaming (FIFA)
I love to watch, discuss & play Soccer (or, “Football” as we say!) and Cricket. I support FC Barcelona, Brazil national team in football and obviously Bangladesh in cricket. I still don’t know the rules of American football, but I support the wildcats in that (Go Cats!). I love computer gaming in general, and a bit crazy about EA Sports FIFA series. If you are interested in any of them, feel free to contact me (my Origin id (for FIFA 15): udxxx_junior).
Food & Restaurants
I love to eat (but not to cook!), and try-out different restaurants and cuisines. I suspect one day I might start love cooking as well. Contact me if you are interested to join our quest for awesome foods.
Travelling
As I am still a student (well, sort of..), I want to travel as much as possible before the life becomes boring and one-dimensional eventually. One of my target is to complete touring most of the well-known places in US in the next 5 years.
Family
I am married to lovely Bony Anjabeen since March, 2013. I have a loving family and in-laws. Two of my best friends are Ayaat and Ayaan (niece and nephew). My family nickname is Junior.

Hopefully getting the PhD in...
