Education

🎓 Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering (MSc)

North South University

📍 Dhaka, Bangladesh 📆 Graduated: Summer 2020

CGPA: 3.97 / 4.00  ·  ≈ 99 / 100  ·  First-Class Standing
📄 Thesis:
Designed and implemented CryptoSearch, a secure and searchable encryption framework for cloud storage using symmetric cryptography with Identity-Based Encryption (IBE). The system enables efficient single and multi-keyword search over encrypted data while preserving user privacy, minimizing key-management overhead, and ensuring plaintext is never exposed to the storage provider. Also developed a web application as an overlay system on a cloud storage domain, demonstrating low response time and scalability.

You can update the path to the one being used in `_data/navigation.yml` with the JSON formatted CV being hidden by default. * The [Liquid syntax guide](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/tags/control-flow/) is a useful guide for those that want to add functionality to the template or to become contributors to the [template on GitHub](https://github.com/academicpages/academicpages.github.io). ## MathJax Support for MathJax (version 3.* via [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/), [documentation](https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/)) is included in the template: $$ \displaylines{ \nabla \cdot E= \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0} \\\ \nabla \cdot B=0 \\\ \nabla \times E= -\partial_tB \\\ \nabla \times B = \mu_0 \left(J + \varepsilon_0 \partial_t E \right) } $$ The default delimiters of `$$...$$` and `\\[...\\]` are supported for displayed mathematics, while `\\(...\\)` should be used for in-line mathematics (ex., \\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\)) **Note** that since Academic Pages uses Markdown which cases some interference with MathJax and LaTeX for escaping characters and new lines, although [some workarounds exist](https://math.codidact.com/posts/278763/278772#answer-278772). In some cases, such as when you are including MathJax in a `citation` field for publications, it may be necessary to use `\(...\)` for inline delineation. ## Mermaid diagrams Academic Pages includes support for [Mermaid diagrams](https://mermaid.js.org/) (version 11.* via [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/)) and in addition to their [tutorials](https://mermaid.js.org/ecosystem/tutorials.html) and [GitHub documentation](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid) the basic syntax is as follows: ```markdown ```mermaid graph LR A-->B ``` ``` Which produces the following plot with the [default theme](https://mermaid.js.org/config/theming.html) applied: ```mermaid graph LR A-->B ``` While a more advanced plot with the `forest` theme applied looks like the following: ```mermaid --- config: theme: 'forest' --- graph TD; A-->B; A-->C; B-->D; C-->D; ``` ## Plotly Academic Pages includes support for Plotly diagrams via a hook in the Markdown code elements, although those that are comfortable with HTML and JavaScript can also access it [via those routes](https://plotly.com/javascript/getting-started/). In order to render a Plotly plot via Markdown the relevant plot data need to be added as follows: ```markdown ```plotly { "data": [ { "x": [1, 2, 3, 4], "y": [10, 15, 13, 17], "type": "scatter" }, { "x": [1, 2, 3, 4], "y": [16, 5, 11, 9], "type": "scatter" } ] } ``` ``` **Important!** Since the data is parsed as JSON *all* of the keys will need to be quoted for the plot to render. The use of a tool like [JSONLint](https://jsonlint.com/) to check syntax is highly recommended. {: .notice} Which produces the following: ```plotly { "data": [ { "x": [1, 2, 3, 4], "y": [10, 15, 13, 17], "type": "scatter" }, { "x": [1, 2, 3, 4], "y": [16, 5, 11, 9], "type": "scatter" } ] } ``` Essentially what is taking place is that the [Plotly attributes](https://plotly.com/javascript/reference/index/) are being taken from the code block as JSON data, parsed, and passed to Plotly along with a theme that matches the current site theme (i.e., a light theme, or a dark theme). This allows all plots that can be described via the `data` attribute to rendered with some limitations for the theme of the plot. ```plotly { "data": [ { "x": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], "y": [1, 6, 3, 6, 1], "mode": "markers", "type": "scatter", "name": "Team A", "text": ["A-1", "A-2", "A-3", "A-4", "A-5"], "marker": { "size": 12 } }, { "x": [1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5], "y": [4, 1, 7, 1, 4], "mode": "markers", "type": "scatter", "name": "Team B", "text": ["B-a", "B-b", "B-c", "B-d", "B-e"], "marker": { "size": 12 } } ], "layout": { "xaxis": { "range": [ 0.75, 5.25 ] }, "yaxis": { "range": [0, 8] }, "title": {"text": "Data Labels Hover"} } } ``` ```plotly { "data": [{ "x": [1, 2, 3], "y": [4, 5, 6], "type": "scatter" }, { "x": [20, 30, 40], "y": [50, 60, 70], "xaxis": "x2", "yaxis": "y2", "type": "scatter" }], "layout": { "grid": { "rows": 1, "columns": 2, "pattern": "independent" }, "title": { "text": "Simple Subplot" } } } ``` ```plotly { "data": [{ "z": [[10, 10.625, 12.5, 15.625, 20], [5.625, 6.25, 8.125, 11.25, 15.625], [2.5, 3.125, 5.0, 8.125, 12.5], [0.625, 1.25, 3.125, 6.25, 10.625], [0, 0.625, 2.5, 5.625, 10]], "type": "contour" }], "layout": { "title": { "text": "Basic Contour Plot" } } } ``` ## Markdown guide Academic Pages uses [kramdown](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/index.html) for Markdown rendering, which has some differences from other Markdown implementations such as GitHub's. In addition to this guide, please see the [kramdown Syntax page](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html) for full documentation. ### Header three #### Header four ##### Header five ###### Header six ## Blockquotes Single line blockquote: > Quotes are cool. ## Tables ### Table 1 | Entry | Item | | | -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | [John Doe](#) | 2016 | Description of the item in the list | | [Jane Doe](#) | 2019 | Description of the item in the list | | [Doe Doe](#) | 2022 | Description of the item in the list | ### Table 2 | Header1 | Header2 | Header3 | |:--------|:-------:|--------:| | cell1 | cell2 | cell3 | | cell4 | ce ll5 | cell6 | |-----------------------------| | cell1 | cell2 | cell3 | | cell4 | cell5 | cell6 | |=============================| | Foot1 | Foot2 | Foot3 | ## Definition Lists Definition List Title : Definition list division.

Jupyter notebook markdown generator

# Jupyter notebook markdown generator These .ipynb files are Jupyter notebook files that convert a TSV containing structured data about talks (`talks.tsv`) or presentations (`presentations.tsv`) into individual markdown files that will be properly formatted for the academicpages template. The notebooks contain a lot of documentation about the process. The .py files are pure python that do the same things if they are executed in a terminal, they just don't have pretty documentation.
