I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. I am currently working as a research assistant in the Quantum Nanostructures and Nanofabrication Group, led by Prof. Karl Berggren. 

My PhD research focuses on nanowire devices fabricated from ultra-thin (typically sub-10 nm) superconducting films for applications in single-photon detection and cryogenic electronics. I am currently working on enhancing the efficiency of these detectors in the mid-infrared spectral range, with the goal of enabling improved imaging capabilities for space-based telescopes such as the James Webb Space. In addition, while these superconducting nanowire devices typically operate below 10 K, my research also explores approaches to raise their operating temperature above 40 K, thereby improving their practicality and accessibility. More broadly, my research interests lie in nanophotonics, applied superconductivity, and electronic transport.

Previously, I served as a lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees from that department in 2017 and 2020, respectively.
