Dr. Ehsanur Rahman

Welcome to my website. 

I am an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).  I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from BUET.  Fueled by a passion for clean energy, I pursued a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, focusing on static heat-to-electricity conversion. During my doctoral studies, I was honoured with the prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, the most competitive and renowned doctoral scholarship in Canada, awarded to exceptional scholars who demonstrate leadership skills and the potential to make significant contributions to their field. In addition, I received the International Doctoral Fellowship and Four Year Doctoral Fellowship from UBC, further recognizing my academic merit and research promise. Upon completing my Ph.D., I was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), supporting my continued pursuit of groundbreaking research in energy conversion.

My research playground? Anything that converts energy!  From capturing sunlight in novel solar cells to harnessing waste heat for electricity, my interests span Thermionic and Next Generation Solar Cells, Near-Field Thermophotovoltaics, Fuel Cell-based Cogeneration Systems, Thermophotonics and more.  I'm also exploring the exciting world of nanoelectronics, using quantum mechanical simulations to design next-generation devices and biosensors.

I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my research interests, publications, and ongoing projects.
