Hi! I'm Md Shawmoon Azad, a researcher exploring the intersection of Quantum Security × AI. I'm currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Cleveland State University under the supervision of Dr. Sathish A. P. Kumar, where I work on Hybrid Post-Quantum TLS frameworks for quantum-safe cloud communication.

Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the Optics-Quantum & AI Lab of North South University, supervised by Dr. Mahdy Rahman Chowdhury and I have also closely worked with Dr. Sifat Momen.

Research Interests: Design of quantum-safe communication systems through NIST-aligned hybrid cryptography; development of efficient quantum machine learning under hardware constraints; and translational quantum–AI frameworks connecting theoretical advances to real-world deployment.
