Md Sadek Ferdous, PhD

Associate Professor

Dr. Md Sadek Ferdous is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of BRAC University. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet Bangladesh. He advises the Government of Bangladesh in different capacities, particularly in Blockchain. He is the principal author of the National Blockchain Strategy document of Bangladesh.

Before joining SUST he worked as a Research Associate at the Centre for Financial Technology of the Imperial College Business School, Imperial College London, UK. He is still associated with the Centre to continue this research remotely.

While at Imperial, he had the opportunity to work at the UK Cabinet Office as their first Technology Fellow. He was a part of a joint-project involving the UK Cabinet Office, UK Ministry of Justice and UK Police in which he explored how the blockchain technology could be leveraged for securing digital evidences. He designed and developed a proof of concept which the UK ministry of Justice exploring the possibility for real-life trial. This had been a very successful project which received world-wide media attention.

He also worked as a Research Fellow at the Electronics and Computer Science Department of the University of Southampton, UK and as a Post-doctoral Research Assistant at the School of Computing Science of the University of Glasgow.

He was a SICSA (Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance) Funded, PhD student at the University of Glasgow. His thesis title was “User-controlled Identity Management Systems using Mobile Devices.

He has a double masters in Security and Mobile Computing from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway and University of Tartu, Estonia. I was awarded with the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship  to pursue my masters study.

He completed his BSc. in Computer Science & Engineering from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh.

His current research interests include Blockchain, Identity Management, Trust Management, Security and Privacy.
