Graduate Student, Department of EEE, University of Dhaka

My favorite writer, André Gide, once said, "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore". I don't know how far I have crossed the ocean, but I persistently strive to maintain my command over the boat amidst the boundless depths of the open sea.

I will start my graduate studies in the ECE Department at the University of Maryland–College Park in Fall 2025. Currently, I am working as a full-time lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at BRAC University, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I recently graduated with a 4-year bachelor`s degree (top 5% of the class) from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am also working as a graduate research assistant at the Emerging Nanoscale Devices (END) Research Group. My research interest is focused on exploring the domains of nano-photonics, nanostructures, nano-electronics, negative capacitance, and applied machine learning.

I was the Chair of the IEEE Electron Devices Society Student Branch Chapter, University of Dhaka, and the winner of IEEE EDS Undergraduate Fellowship 2023 in Region 10.
