I am a fifth-year Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at the University of Virginia. My research focuses on time series deep learning and interpretation using state-of-the-art techniques. I am advised by Professor Judy Fox and co-advised by Professor Geoffrey Fox. My prior work also includes improving code review and software development processes. For research inquiries, email me at khairulislam@virginia.edu. See my recent works on Google Scholar.

Prior to UVA, I worked at Samsung Research, Bangladesh for 2 years as an iOS software developer (2018–2020). I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2018. In my spare time I enjoy playing Chess and Table Tennis.
