"why we do, what we do, defines who we are"

Howdy! I am Arif Arman.

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate and Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Texas A&M University (TAMU), College Station, TX, USA. I completed my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in CSE from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Previously I worked as a Lecturer in the Department of CSE at United International University (UIU), and as a Software Engineer at REVE Systems Ltd.

My primary research interests are information retrieval at a large scale, high-performance computing and sorting, algorithm optimization, and data mining. I am also fond of computational geometry, spatial databases and systems dealing with location based services. I have authored and co-authored papers in prestigious international conferences including ASPLOS, VLDB, CIKM and ADC.

Currently I am working with Professor Dmitri Loguinov in the Internet Research Lab (IRL) at TAMU on a high-performance sort that focuses on reducing bottlenecks caused by several CPU components and inefficient code generation by the compiler. I am also working on a streaming framework that provides the programmer with a seemingly infinite buffer.

C/C++ is my favorite programming language as I love to write programs that tries to squeeze maximum performance out of the underlying system and architecture. I turn to Python now and then for scripting and analytics tasks.

In my leisure I like to photograph, play guitar and ukulele, read books, and travel!
