Bangladesh-Sweden Trust Fund (BSTF) Fellowship, 2022–2023
I received the Bangladesh-Sweden Trust Fund (BSTF) Fellowship for the 2022–2023 session. Established in 1984 with grants from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), the BSTF aims to foster human resource development in Bangladesh by supporting students pursuing higher studies abroad. The fund is administered by a 12-member committee representing both public and private sectors, chaired by the Secretary of the Economic Relations Division.
Chancellor’s Innovation Fund 2024
Together with Dr. Ahmedullah Aziz and a labmate, I was selected among the top eight teams for the UT Chancellor’s Innovation Fund (CIF) 2024 at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Our project, titled “Intelligent Image Sensors for Enhanced Security and Processing,” was recognized for its innovative approach to integrating advanced sensor technology with intelligent in-pixel computation for next-generation imaging systems. The CIF program, organized by the Office of Research, Innovation & Economic Development, supports promising research with strong commercialization potential and fosters technology-driven entrepreneurship at UT.
Government Scholarship (Dinajpur Education Board, Bangladesh), 2015–2019
I received a Government Scholarship from the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dinajpur, in recognition of my academic excellence in the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination. This merit-based scholarship, awarded by the Government of Bangladesh through regional education boards, supports high-achieving students during their undergraduate studies and encourages continued pursuit of academic distinction and leadership in higher education.
Government Scholarship (Dinajpur Education Board, Bangladesh), 2013–2014
I was awarded a Government Scholarship by the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dinajpur, for outstanding academic performance in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination. This merit-based national scholarship, administered by the Government of Bangladesh through regional education boards, recognizes top-performing students across the country and provides continued support to encourage academic excellence during higher secondary studies.

Understanding the True Small-Signal Model of MOS Transistors
Syllabus:
Highlighted fundamental misconceptions in traditional small-signal modeling of MOS transistors. The talk explained the difference between Cgd (gate-to-drain capacitance) and Cdg (drain-to-gate capacitance), emphasizing that Cdg, not Cgd, dominates in saturation yet is often neglected in textbooks. The speaker also discussed why this key capacitance is not Miller multiplied in saturation and why SPICE-reported gm and V(DSAT) values can be misleading.
