Muhammad Ehsanul Kader

👨‍🏫 Lecturer, BRAC University
🎓 Graduated (B.Sc.) from CSE, BUET
👨‍🎓 Prospective Graduate Student
💡 Interested in Systems, Security, Software Engineering and Database

I am Ehsan. I am currently working as a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, BRAC University. I have recently completed my undergraduate degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, BUET. My current research interests include Systems, Security, Networking and Databases. I plan to pursue a PhD to expand my knowledge and contribute to research and innovation in these areas.

I began my research journey by collaborating on a project that tested the forecasting capabilities of various deep learning models, including CNN, LSTM, GRU, and multivariate CNN, for predicting number of COVID-19 cases. Next, I contributed to developing a multidimensional deep learning architecture to efficiently detect cardiovascular diseases from ECG signals and a knowledge distillation framework to reduce trainable parameters while maintaining performance. Papers from both of these projects led to publications in academic journals.

My undergraduate thesis was titled Dependency and Priority Based Multi-Queue IoT Task Scheduling in Heterogeneous Fog Systems which was supervised by Dr. Rezwana Reaz. In this work, we developed a non-preemptive dynamic task scheduling algorithm that takes into account the heterogeneity of fog resources, as well as the priority, deadline constraints, and dependencies between tasks.

In my current role, I teach the courses Data Structures and Algorithms within the Computer Science and Engineering department of BRAC University. I also taught an introductory programming lab focused on Java, where I guided students through the basics of programming.

Outside of work, I enjoy watching and discussing sports. I am a passionate Liverpool Football Club fan and have been following them since I was a kid. I also love traveling whenever I have the opportunity and have been fortunate enough to visit the Saint Martin island, Chittagong Hill Tracts, as well as the beautiful regions of Shimla and Manali.
