About

Greetings! I'm Md Shahidur Rahaman, currently embarking on an exciting journey as a PhD student in Texas A&M University , College Station with a deep-rooted passion for cybersecurity and software security. I recently graduated with a Master's of Science in Computer Science from Baylor University, where I not only advanced my technical skills but also developed a keen interest in the intricate aspects of software and cyber safety.

I am currently under the mentorship of Nitesh Saxena at the SPIES research lab. My present research focus is at the crossroads of Cybersecurity, Software Engineering. I am also interested in an interdisciplinary area that leverages machine learning (ML) techniques to improve cybersecurity measures and apply cybersecurity principles to safeguard ML systems.

Interest

I am currently focused on the dynamic intersection of Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, Software Security, and Machine Learning. My research aims to:

• Cybersecurity: Develop innovative strategies for advanced threat detection and mitigation, enhancing digital system defenses against emerging cyber threats.
• Software Engineering: Explore efficient, reliable software development methodologies, integrating machine learning to improve the software development life cycle.
• Software Security: Investigate secure coding practices, creating frameworks for security testing to build resilient software systems.
• Machine Learning: Apply machine learning algorithms in cybersecurity for threat and anomaly detection, while addressing AI ethical challenges, biases, and privacy concerns.

My goal is to contribute towards a safer, more secure digital environment through the integration of these key disciplines.
