After receiving a BTech in Textiles from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, I availed an opportunity to study computational optimization in the Department of Informatics, University of Bergen, Norway under Professor Trond Steihaug. I was awarded a University of Bergen Fellowship (Universitetsstipendiat) for my doctoral studies during which (1996) I was a visiting graduate student of Cornell University CS department. I spent a part of my sabbatical leave (in 2006) visiting Professor Andreas Griewank at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. My academic ancestry can be traced back, starting at Forsythe Tree, all the way to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and beyond at The Mathematics Genealogy Project.
