I am Mostafa Rafid, a first-year PhD student of Mechanical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. Previously, I worked as a lecturer at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) from August 2022 to December 2024. I completed my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in February 2021. 

The ripple in time has taken me from my early years in Rajshahi, through undergraduate studies in Dhaka, to professional beginnings in Sylhet—all in Bangladesh—before bringing me to a whole new country—USA, at State College, Pennsylvania, for my PhD. 

Let's see where the ripple in time will take me next!
