Short Bio
Hi! My name is Mostofa Najmus Sakib. I am currently pursuing a master's in computer science at Boise State University, advised by Dr. Francesca Spezzano at the AI-based Security (AIbS) Lab. My current research focuses on the detection of sockpuppet in wikipedia.
Prior to the current program, I obtained another MS degree in Civil Engineering from Boise State University and graduated in Summer 2020 under the supervision of Dr. Mojtaba Sadegh. As part of the project and thesis, I rigorously worked on the development of a fraud detection algorithm and system to identify suspicious activities on construction projects. [Project news]
