Reduan Hasan Khan |
Smart cars, smart homes, smart cities — you’ve probably heard some of these terms lately, and you’re going to hear them even more as time goes by. But what are these things exactly — and what makes them so smart?
These devices are all part of a fast-growing trend in technology called the Internet of Things, or IoT for short. At its very basic level, IoT refers to the connection of everyday objects to the Internet and to one another, with the goal being to provide users with smarter, more efficient experiences.
But as with any new technology, IoT can be confusing and intimidating for those who want to learn more.
This tutorial is aimed to demystify IoT — describing the end-to-end IoT architecture comprised of sensors, networks, data aggregation, analytics and applications, and to share some ideas on how to create an IoT solution from the scratch.
Dr. Reduan Hasan Khan received his B.Sc. (Hons) degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2007.
From 2007 to 2011, he worked as Core Network Engineer in GrameenPhone.
From 2011 to 2015, he worked as Research Engineer and Consultant at various telecommunications projects in Australia. He also obtained his PhD degree on
“Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications over 4G Wireless Networks” from the University of Newcastle, Australia in 2014. From July 2015 to 2017,
he worked as the Head of Core Network Operations at Grameenphone. Currently, he has been leading the Internet-of-Things (IoT) portfolio of Grameenphone.
Dr. Khan has over 20 publications in various international journals and conferences,
including IEEE Transactions and Elsevier. He has also received a number of awards for his
academic and professional excellence in Bangladesh and abroad, including the Australian Postgraduate Award (APA).
Dr. Khan is a member of IEEE Internet of Things and IEEE Smart Grid Communities.
He’s also serving as a member of the standing committee on Internet of Things (IoT) of
Bangladesh Association for Software and Information Services (BASIS). His research interest areas include 4G Wireless Systems,
