Hi! I'm Koush, short for Koushikur. I'm a final-year postgraduate student at Western Sydney University, Australia, where I'm completing my Master of Information and Communications Technology with a focus on Edge and Cloud Computing.
I currently work as a Research Assistant at the Smart and Distributed Computing Lab under the guidance of Associate Professor Rodrigo N. Calheiros. At the lab, I've contributed to several research projects, helping design experiments, analyze data, evaluate results, and co-author papers for peer-reviewed journals. My latest work focuses on service placement in the edge-to-cloud continuum, exploring how high-level human intents can guide decision-making.
