Abdullah Al Raqibul Islam
Hi, I am a CS Ph.D. candidate at UNC Charlotte, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dong Dai on storage systems. My research centers on the design of data storage applications and systems, leveraging the unique characteristics of underlying storage technologies. My Ph.D. research focuses on building a high-performance dynamic graph processing framework tailored for emerging storage technologies, such as non-volatile memory. I am particularly interested in developing intelligent and adaptive data structures to efficiently store dynamic graphs while preserving the efficiency of graph analysis.
In addition to my core research focus, I am also engaged in research on parallel sparse matrix computations, specifically in the areas of Sparse General Matrix-Matrix Multiplication (SpGEMM). I actively collaborate on other storage systems-related projects, such as a parallel file system (PFS) checker and crash consistency testing for persistent memory.
Prior to UNC Charlotte, I was appointed as Principal Software Engineer at TigerIT Bangladesh Ltd. where I led a couple of ML and data management related engineering projects. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from University of Dhaka.
