About Me

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. I’m Fuad Sakib, an Assistant Superintendent of Police in Bangladesh and a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy, where I am pursuing a Master of Science in Information Security Policy and Management (MSISPM).

My work sits at the intersection of engineering, cybersecurity, public safety, and critical infrastructure. I began my academic journey in electrical and electronic engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), where I focused on power systems and control. I subsequently worked in Bangladesh’s energy sector with DPDC, PGCB, and IDCOL, gaining experience in critical infrastructure operations, including the management of a 132kV substation and protection systems for substations ranging from 11kV to 230kV. My undergraduate research on blackout prevention, which led to a peer-reviewed publication, sparked a lasting interest in system reliability, resilience, and fault response.

My career later expanded into public service through the Bangladesh Police Service. As an Assistant Superintendent of Police, I have worked across law enforcement and public-sector operations while developing an interest in how technology, data, and policy can strengthen public safety. My work has included research involving statistical analysis and mixed-method approaches to examine challenges in policing and tourism.

At Carnegie Mellon, I am building on this interdisciplinary background through graduate study in information security policy and management. My interests include cybersecurity, critical infrastructure and SCADA/ICS security, cyber-physical systems, ransomware resilience, insider threat detection, and the security and governance of autonomous systems. I am particularly interested in understanding how technical vulnerabilities, organizational decisions, and public policy interact in the protection of complex systems.

My technical background includes programming in Python, C, and C++, as well as experience with digital forensics and engineering systems. I am especially interested in research and practical problems involving the security of cyber-physical and autonomous systems, where engineering, cybersecurity, and public policy increasingly converge.

This website brings together my academic and professional work, including my CV, publications, projects, and research interests. I hope it provides a useful overview of my journey from electrical engineering and critical infrastructure to law enforcement and cybersecurity at Carnegie Mellon.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with researchers, practitioners, and others working to build more secure, resilient, and trustworthy systems.
