Keynote Speaker - Career in IT Profession
Rajshahi University IT Society, Bangladesh
May 2015
It was a seminar talk on how to be a IT professional. I tried to cover the
overall picture of the IT industry with respect to Bangladesh and the
opportunity present and upcoming in Bangladesh. It was rather long presentation
but I believe it gives a through picture that helps to choose the professional
track in IT industry for the participant. The presentation can be found here:

Keynote Speaker - High Performance Computing Bootcamp 2015
Rajshahi University IT Society, Bangladesh
September 2015
My mentor & thesis supervisor Dr. Abdullah Shams Bin Tariq is the mastermind
behind my dream on HPC. We started a small HPC facility, named "Arun HPCC"
(arun-hpcc.ru.ac.bd) back in 2012 with a small help from ICTP, the very first
HPC facility open and freely available for academic research in the country.
Although the idea is very new to our country although HPC being used as a
mainstream research tools in various fields both academically and commercially.
