I was born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I graduated from Military Institute of Science & Technology with a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering in January, 2018. My major was Aerospace. The coursework provided a rigorous knowledge on aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, various aircraft systems, computational fluid dynamics, computational structure analysis and space dynamics. I was co-founder and an active member of MIST Aeronautics and Astronautics club. I worked with MIST Robotics Club where I worked on several automation and robotics projects. I was also the editor of 'Robolution 2.0' which is a yearly robotics magazine. I have got opportunity to participate in many national and international competition like AIAA DBF Competition 2016, UAV Turkey Tubitak 2016, AIAA Undergraduate Aircraft Design Competition etc. During my undergraduate thesis, my research focus was on unsteady aerodynamics, experimental fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics.
After graduation, I have worked as a Lecturer of Aerospace Department of Aeronautical Institute of Bangladesh (AIB). There I have conducted three courses: Aircraft System and Power Plant, Design and Fabrication of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Aerospace Engineering Drawing. I have worked there from March'18 to October'18.
Then, I joined Teach for Bangladesh's educational leadership development program as a Fellow. This is a 2 years fellowship program designed to address the education inequality problem in Bangladesh. I was working in a high need school as a teacher where I facilitate interactive sessions, assess students, promote joyful learning and developing the students as next generation leaders. Apart from Teach for Bangladesh's fellowship, I have coined a project of my own to promote STEM education among the students of Bangladesh. A sister concern of this project has achieved EMK Center Small Grant 2020.
I joined Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center's online education platform BYLCx as a Learning Designers where I used to design curriculum and develop online courses on professional development and leadership. I left BYLC to pursue my dream. I am currently a Ph,D, student of Aerospace Engineering. My research focus is on development of efficient automated unmanned aerial system and system identification of UAS.
