Hello,

I am Rajesh from Bangladesh. I was born in the port city of Chittagong. I started my life journey in Raozan Upazilla, a sub-urban area 32 kilometers away from Chittagong district headquarters. I was in Raozan for about 15 years and finished junior-level schooling there. I saw the nature and lives of different kinds of people during my childhood very closely. I came across so many diverse things at that time. Till now, I consider this part of my life to be very precious and valuable. Later, I came to Chittagong in 1991 and was admitted to Chittagong College. During my stay at Chittagong College, I improved my skills and built a sound academic background. For this, I am very much grateful to my teachers and friends in my college at that time.

I left Chittagong for my undergraduate study in 1994 and enrolled in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).It was th e best school of Engineering in Bangladesh. I secured the third position in the admission test of BUET. That is the most cherished event in my life among all the awards and recognitions I have achieved so far. I completed my B. Sc. degree in Computer Science and Engineering in June 2000. Unfortunately, we wasted two years of our lives in BUET due to 'SESSION JAM.' I did my M. Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada, in May 2004. In the Fall of 2011, I completed my Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering, University of Waterloo, ON, Canada.
