Md. Tanvir Alam

I am currently working as a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I completed my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from the same institution with the highest CGPA. My undergraduate and master's theses were supervised by Prof. Dr. Chowdhury Farhan Ahmed. I have worked on several research projects and have published in journals and conferences, including ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, PAKDD, and ICDM Workshops, with over 180 citations. My research interests include, but are not limited to, machine learning on graphs, graph mining, graph neural networks, and graph anomaly detection.

I am a dedicated and passionate researcher seeking PhD opportunities to advance my expertise and contribute to innovative research.
