About Me

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

My background spans electrical engineering, critical infrastructure, law enforcement, and cybersecurity. I studied electrical and electronic engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), where my undergraduate research on blackout prevention led to a peer-reviewed conference publication and a lasting interest in the reliability and resilience of power systems.

Before joining the Bangladesh Police, I worked at IDCOL, PGCB, and DPDC. My responsibilities included renewable energy project assessment, the operation of a 132 kV substation, and substation protection, commissioning, and emergency response. These experiences gave me a practical understanding of the infrastructure on which everyday life depends—and the consequences when it fails.

As an Assistant Superintendent of Police, I have worked in public safety, media and communications, technology administration, and internal investigations. At Tourist Police Headquarters in Dhaka, my responsibilities have also included social media monitoring and coordination of responses to reported incidents. Alongside these duties, I have contributed to research on policing and sustainable tourism using quantitative and qualitative methods.

At Carnegie Mellon, I am exploring how engineering, security, and policy can work together to protect critical infrastructure. My interests include electricity-sector cybersecurity, ICS/SCADA security, cyber intelligence, incident response, and insider threats. I am particularly interested in how technical weaknesses, organizational choices, and public policy shape the security of complex systems.

I bring experience in power-system engineering, a developing foundation in Python and C/C++, and continuing study in cybersecurity. My long-term goal is to apply this combined background to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities in Bangladesh, particularly in law enforcement and critical infrastructure protection.

This website brings together my CV, publications, projects, and academic interests. It also holds something more personal: my writing about childhood, friendship, books, and the changing city of Dhaka. I write these pieces in Bengali; AI-assisted English translations are available in a separate section.

Thank you for reading. I welcome connections with researchers, practitioners, and anyone who shares these interests—or finds something familiar in the stories here.
