About Me
Hi Everyone, I am Imran Khan and I am from Bangladesh. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at Northeastern University. Before that, I completed my master’s in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (2020) and I earned my Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2014. Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant in NUWiNS Lab under the supervision of Dr. Dimitrios Koutsonikolas. My research interest involves ensuring end-to-end performance, mobility, and reliablity in 5G/6G networks.
