The Aerodynamics and Fluid Flow Research Group (AFFRG) is pleased to share that Hasan Muhommod Robin, a former member of the group and graduate of Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), has started his PhD journey in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (USA).
Robin joined the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME) at the University of Oklahoma as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, where he will contribute to both teaching and research activities during his doctoral studies. His research interests focus on renewable energy systems, biomimetic aerodynamics, wind energy technologies, and sustainable hydrogen production from wastewater systems. During his time at RUET and through collaborations with AFFRG researchers, he contributed to several research publications in areas including biomimetic wind turbine design, aerodynamic optimization, and sustainable energy systems.
At the University of Oklahoma, Robin aims to further expand his research in advanced wind energy systems and bio-inspired aerodynamic technologies, while also contributing to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of energy, environment, and fluid mechanics.
The AFFRG family congratulates Robin on this important milestone and wishes him great success in his PhD journey.
