Autobiography

Assalamu Alaikum. 

My name is Fazlay Elahi, but most people simply know me as Elahi. I’m currently a third-year undergraduate student pursuing my BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Born and raised in the beautiful city of Khulna, I moved to Dhaka to pursue my dream of becoming a world-class engineer and researcher. 

For me, education is not just a responsibility; it’s a mission, a calling. I’m an extremely study-focused individual—often pushing myself to study up to 12 hours a day—not out of obligation, but because I truly love learning. My life revolves around learning, thinking, creating, and deeply understanding how the world works—from physics and semiconductors to the human mind and soul. 

I’m also very interested in collaborating with professors and researchers even before entering grad school. I actively seek opportunities to contribute to scientific papers, optimize device parameters, and explore practical innovations—even if it’s remotely, even if I’m not officially enrolled in their labs. I believe in learning through contribution. In the near future, I plan to pursue MSc and PhD degrees in Electronics, focusing on Semiconductor Device modeling, design, and optimization. 

I’m deeply passionate about electrical and electronic engineering, and my goal is to contribute to the semiconductor and chip design industry at a global level. My research interests include VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), semiconductor device physics, microelectronics, and system-on-chip (SoC) architecture. These are the fields where technology meets precision, and I aspire to innovate in this space—one transistor, one circuit, and one design at a time.

My professional career plan is to work at pioneering global semiconductor company, where I can design the next generation of processors, microchips, and smart systems. I want to be part of a revolution that merges hardware with intelligence—building not just fast systems, but smart, sustainable, and scalable solutions for the world.

As an undergraduate student of EEE at AUST, I have tried to explore various study and research domains of EE/EEE/ECE/EECS by studying scientific articles, books, watching videos, and other sources of knowledge, and I searched for the domains that may become my passion. 

Interested in studying, learning, teaching, and conducting research on — 

• Physics of Semiconductor Devices, carrier transport mechanisms—drift-diffusion, ballistic, and quantum tunneling—in nanoscale and power semiconductor devices, polarization effects, surface states, interface traps, and electrothermal behavior in wide- and ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductors. Exploration of time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB), hot carrier injection (HCI), trapping/de-trapping mechanisms, and thermally-induced failures. Study interest in 

• Wide and Ultra-Wide Bandgap Semiconductors (WBG & UWBG).  AlGaN/GaN and AlGaAs/GaAs HEMT devices, with interest in recessed-gate, T-gate, and enhancement-mode designs for RF and power domains. Study of 2DEG transport, thermal degradation, trapping effects, and scalability challenges. Focused on the electronic, thermal, and reliability properties of materials like GaN, AlN, SiC, Ga₂O₃, BN, and Diamond for extreme-condition applications. Study of GaN HEMT degradation, self-heating, and lifetime modeling under pulsed and continuous operation. Investigating power/RF transistor behavior under high field, high voltage, and high frequency regimes. 

• FinFET, GAAFET, UTB-SOI, RibbonFET, Forksheet FET, CAVET, and HEMT architectures including recessed-gate and enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs, TFETs, FeFETs, NCFETs, memristors, and STT-MRAM, Neuromorphic, and spintronic devices for post-CMOS applications.

• spintronics, quantum tunneling, and quantum confinement effects in ultra-scaled FETs and MTJs. Curiosity about devices leveraging spin-orbit torque, topological insulators, and vertical switching phenomena.

I have born and raised in the beautiful city of Khulna, I moved to Dhaka to pursue my dream of becoming an engineer and researcher. Beyond these, I love to think and write with my soul on my Facebook; recite poetry, read anthropology, theology, & literature; listen and do music, play guitars, harmonium, tabla; hang outside with my family and friends, watch movies, visit bookstores, aesthetic cultural open houses. I do podcast on Liberal Arts on my own YT channel called "Ei Shomoyer Dorshon." I teach Physics and Engineering on my own academy's YT channel called "Gluino Academy." I love to practice my religion Islam blending spiritual science from Sufism. I strive to live meaningfully—aiming to innovate, contribute to science, while living a life rooted in meaning, reflection, human connection, balancing intellect with emotion, nurturing inner depth, faith, and creativity. 

Alongside my academic life, I’ve built strong skills and experience through extracurricular and co-curricular activities. Currently, I serve as the Content Writer and Publication Coordinator at the IEEE AUST Student Branch, where I write detailed event reports and articles, often published on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube. My writing bridges technical content with human storytelling—something I find deeply meaningful.

I also served as a Junior Executive for MindSparks-23, one of the largest inter-university technical festivals. I helped organize and execute the Robo Soccer and Line Follower Robot segments, handling everything from planning, marketing, field management, photography, judge coordination, to scorekeeping. This experience gave me insights into event management, team dynamics, and real-world problem-solving.

Beyond academics and events, I work as a Human Resource Officer at We For Us Foundation BD, where I support social initiatives, manage communications, and help organize impactful events that serve our community. I also received on-site industrial training from Ulterior Engineering Ltd, which helped bridge my classroom knowledge with real-world engineering applications.

Gluino Academy: My educational platform, where I teach science, mathematics, and engineering. I’ve taught HSC Physics, A Level Physics, and SAT Physics, breaking down complex topics into digestible lessons. I believe in empowering others through knowledge, and this channel is my way of giving back.

I’ve been playing guitar since 2013, and music has been my emotional and spiritual companion through every phase of life. I enjoy a wide spectrum of musical genres—South Asian, Western, Classical, Pop, Rock, Metal, Alternative Rock, and more. Music is where I lose myself and find myself at the same time. It fuels my creativity, sharpens my emotions, and helps me connect with the world in a raw, meaningful way.

Personal Vlog Channel: Here, I document my university life, concerts, cultural festivals, and moments from my daily routine. It’s my way of preserving memories and sharing my journey.

I am extremely fond of talking, practicing Liberal Arts. Often I read that, practice that. I have a YouTube channel named "Ei Shomoyer Dorshon." This is my liberal arts podcast channel, where I engage in deep, intellectual conversations with people from various disciplines. We talk about philosophy, literature, history, and the human condition—seeking to understand how art and thought shape society. I like poetry of different languages. I read that. Different types of poetry is my favorite. In my free time, I am fond of reading poetry. The poetry of ecstacy, longing, and nostalgia. 

I have an enduring love for literature, art, cinema, and cultural expressions. I don’t just watch films—I feel them. I don’t just read poetry—I live it. I believe that storytelling—whether in books, films, or conversations—is one of the purest forms of human truth.

At the core of my being is a deep spiritual foundation. I am a Sunni Muslim, and I find peace, humility, and depth in the teachings of Sufism. I see science and religion not as opposites, but as two paths leading to the same truth—one through observation, the other through reflection. This belief helps me stay grounded while reaching for the stars.

Beyond the classroom and lab, my life is full of color, sound, language, and soul. I am a proud INFJ-T—an introvert with a fire inside. My personality gravitates toward purposeful solitude, deep reflection, and emotional connection. I am extremely fond of poetry, and I often find myself lost in the lines of mystic verses or sitting quietly in aesthetic bookstores, letting the scent of paper and ink whisper stories to me.

In terms of lifestyle, I’m extremely fond of bright blue skies, autumn weather, gardens, trees, rivers, and open green fields. I love spending peaceful afternoons studying under an open sky where the sunlight, clouds, and silence give me inner peace. The weather after rain—when the sky clears and trees glisten—is my favorite. Nature isn’t just scenery for me; it’s a source of mental clarity and spiritual grounding.

I’m a very emotional and introspective person. I deeply value loyalty, love, and meaningful human connection. After the loss of my father in 2023, life changed for me. I carry his memory with strength and purpose, and everything I strive for now is in part a tribute to the life he gave me. While I have experienced love, I believe that true emotional bonding should be reserved for marriage. In my view, the woman I would be friends with most deeply should also be the woman I marry—because loyalty and sacred commitment mean everything to me.

Ultimately, I see myself as someone who is both technically sharp and emotionally sensitive, someone who blends logic with compassion, structure with creativity, and knowledge with purpose. My journey is about becoming not just a successful engineer, but a complete human being—driven by meaning, guided by faith, and inspired by dreams.

Thank you for reading my story. If you’ve connected with any part of it, I’d love to connect with you, too.
