Profile
Assalam Alaikum, I am S M Ruhul Kabir Howlader. I am a Ph.D. in Computer Science student at the University of Leicester and my supervisors are Dr. Xiao Chen, Professor Hongji Yang, Professor Lu Liu. My research area is Federated Learning.
I have served for almost 3.5 years as an Artificial Intelligence Engineer and Software Engineer at two renowned IT companies in Bangladesh. I completed my M. Sc. in Computer Science from American International University - Bangladesh (AIUB) and B. Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from East West University (EWU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. I received Summa Cum Laude from AIUB in the 20th convocation. I was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant(UTA) at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at East West University. During my B. Sc. I achieved the Dean Scholarship and Medha Lalon Scholarship from East West University.
