I and our formula racing car. After 3 years of hard work, finally our car was ready in November 2024
The Formula IUT, an FSAE racing team from my university which merges raw talent and unyielding ambition for global Formula Students and SAE competitions. This diverse team hails from varied STEM fields, blending engineering prowess, business acumen, and management finesse.
My immediate seniors, my batchmates including me are the founding members of this team. From initiating the idea to build an actual car, the whole journey was like a roller coaster ride with overcoming so many technical, financial and managerial difficulties. Initiating the idea from 2021, finally we completed our car in 2024. For me, in my first year days I saw it as just an idea, my university life went through the development of this project and finally in my fourth year we were able to showcase the completed running car.

My Contributions - Steering Wheel Project and Creatives
Steering wheel of the car, designed in SolidWorks and manufactured by Laser cutting technology
The steering wheel mounted in the car, fully functional
In the Final year, I was appointed as the Head of Steering System
In this project, I contributed to build the steering wheel of the vehicle. I along with my partner designed the steering wheel and manufactured it by cutting a sheet metal through Laser cutting technology from the Shitol Industry Limited. Our steering mechanism also includes a quick release system to instantly make space for the driver to come out in emergency situations. Besides, As I liked videography, I made some contents for the team which helped to catch valuable sponsors. In fact, the main videos of Formula IUT till now is made by me. In the final year, I became the Head of Steering System and led the juniors, simultaneously handling the creative team and making documentary videos
To learn more about Formula IUT, I recommend watching this Playlist, which contains informative Documentaries created by me.

Formula Student China 2025
Formula Student China 2025
In October 2025, I along with other team members participated in the Formula Student Combustion China 2025 held in Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Our car was designed and manufactured from scratch on our own and was prepared for the competition. After a lot of legal, logistical, financial struggle, we finally reached the competition site with our vehicle.
The competition spanned one week, and despite numerous limitations, our team successfully secured three Technical Recognition Stickers in the static events. As a first-time team with no prior experience, we achieved 54th place out of 76 teams, and additionally ranked 8th in the Business Plan Presentation segment.

In this competition, I served as the Head of Steering Systems, supervising the sub-team responsible for the steering wheel, steering column, and overall assembly.
Additionally, I worked as the Creatives Manager, producing multiple documentary-style storytelling videos that significantly enhanced Formula IUT’s public presence.

The Struggling Story Behind Formula Student Combustion China 2025
The Struggling Story Behind Formula Student Combustion China 2025
We registered for Formula Student UK, Formula Bharat but failed to complete our car in due time. Setting a goal of participating in Formula Imperial 2024, we completed the car in time, but we could not participate due to visa complications. Then we set a goal for Formula Student Combustion China, one last chance to participate in any competition before our graduation. Unfortunately, there came a moment of deep uncertainty, as morale declined as we faced many unprecedented technical, financial, and logistical barriers. During this critical phase, Anim, Evan, Nafis, Sami and I, Rafid showed remarkable resilience and kept faith in the team setting one ambition in our mind - whatever happens, we must go to China with our car.
To resolve the fund crisis, I took the initiative to create compelling documentary videos that drew widespread national attention. My videos went viral within a short time, attracted potential sponsors, corporate partners, and philanthropists, helping the team overcome a severe funding crisis and ultimately making participation possible. I was impressed by how we handled this pressure, dealing with unexpected political sponsorship and engaging with high-level stakeholders.
Eventually, the team succeeded, marking a historic moment as one of the first Bangladeshi teams to compete in such a prestigious global event on Chinese soil.
After my video about Formula IUT went viral on social media, it was noticed by the BNP Chairperson Mr. Tarique Rahman. He asked his party to donate a significant fund so that we can take our car to China. They invited us to BNP Gulshan office and arranged a press conference.
Countless sleepless nights, unwavering commitment, and relentless teamwork to prepare the vehicle for Formula Student China Competition 2025
Project Altair
Project Altair
Project Altair, the Mars rover team of IUT, designs and builds robotic systems capable of performing specific tasks in Martian terrain. It was one of the key platforms in my undergrad life to learn team work, robotics and to showcase my skills and creativity. It's a team through which I fulfilled my long cherished dream of winning for Bangladesh in an International Platform.
As a robotics and a creative enthusiast at the same time, I was recruited in IUT Mars rover team Anirban in June, 2022. I worked there sincerely under my seniors. Then Project Altair was formed converging two mars rover teams of IUT. I primarily worked in the Mechanical and the creative sub-team. In my final year, I worked as Team Lead of Creatives.
My Achievement with this team satisfies me. I have participated in two ERC events (remote, Poland) , two IRDC events (remote), and IRC 2024 (onsite, India). In IRC 2024, we have won the "scientists of the future award" and achieved overall 6th position globally. In URC 2025 (remote, USA), I Contributed to team's participation, achieved 18th position among 35 teams.
IRC 2024
IRC 2024
In January 2024, I along with total 14 team members participated in the International Rover Challenge 2024 held in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. It was a journey of 15 days and the competition was one week long. Our rover performed total 4 tasks, such as Instrument Deployment & Maintenance Operation, Autonomous Expedition, Reconnaissance and Delivery Operation, and Astrobiology Expedition. We couldn't gain any points in first two task, but we performed excellently in the astrobiology expedition and became the champion in this task, won the "Scientists of the future" award. Our team overall achieved 6th position. This result is undoubtedly the best result for any Bangladeshi Mars rover Team in History. In this win, I contributed working in both Mechanical and Creative sub-team, also being the drone operator which helped the team to get points in the RDO task.

With Project Altair, I have participated in remote edition in European Rover Challenge (ERC) 2023. Although I did not go to the onsite event, our team participated in the onsite event of ERC 2023 in Poland and stood in 17th position. In ERC 2024, the team participated only in remote the event. In International Rover Design Challenge (IRDC) 2023, our team achieved 10th position globally. Earlier before the creation of Project Altair, our team "IUT Mars Rover" participated in IRDC 2022 and ranked 13th position globally.

I along with the help of my group mates have tried to build a four legged dog robot which can walk by it's legs. We have designed the body, 3D printed the parts, built the circuit, used arduino nano, servo motors, wires and successfully completed the physical project. As robotics is an expensive topic, within a short budget our dog robot can be used as a prototype and as a toy, but it can inspire similar impactful bigger projects in this domain. It was a capstone project, which was a 0.75 credit course in our seventh semester. We had to go through detailed planning, logistics, making physical prototype, in depth trial and error process, constant updates, poster presentation and report writing. Our project was successful, we controlled it with a software, it walked accordingly and the judges of the showcasing fest praised our project with satisfaction.
