Abdullah AL-Mamun, Ph.D.
- Director, HPSDC Lab
I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the School of Computer and Cyber Science, Augusta University, and director of the High Performance & Secure Data Computing Laboratory. I attained my Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Dongfang Zhao. Prior to relocating to the United States, I earned my double-degree M.Sc. in Computer Science jointly from the RWTH Aachen University and the University of Trento under the European Master in Informatics (EUMI) double-degree program sponsored by Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
The High-Performance and Secure Computing (HPSDC) lab publishes research findings at top conferences such as SC, ICDE, IPDPS, DSN, and NDSS.
