About
Engineering Faculty
Bio
Dr. Shak Hossain is a computer science faculty member with over 25 years of industry experience in Silicon Valley, bringing extensive applied expertise to computing education and research. His professional background includes leadership and technical roles in early-stage technology startups in the United States and Bangladesh, with specialization in intelligent information systems, document and data management platforms, cross-platform software development, cloud computing, web application security, and scalable distributed infrastructures.
His academic training includes studies in engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and a dual major in Computer Science and Physics from the University of Southern California. His early research in experimental physics examined quantum interference phenomena on alkali metal surfaces and resulted in publications in peer-reviewed journals, including Physical Review, Physical Review Letters, and the European Physical Journal.
Dr. Hossain earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science with a research focus on entity resolution, master data management, and large-scale data analysis using mathematical and algorithmic modeling. His current research interests include data-intensive systems, data governance, and the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain technologies to policy management and enterprise-scale computing systems.
