I am a researcher in the Networked Embedded Computing Group of Microsoft Research. I got my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, from Carnegie Mellon University in 2005. I got my Bachelor degree from the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh in 1998.

My research interests lie in the intersection of sensor networks, databases, and distributed systems.
