I am a PhD candidate in the Electrical Engineering at the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Prof. Tony Low. I completed my undergrad in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2014. I was awarded the 3M Science and Technology doctoral fellowship at the start of my PhD program. My graduate research focuses theoretical and computational analysis of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials and devices. I have worked as a graduate assistant (research/teaching) over the course of my graduate studies. I published several journal papers and contributed to conference talks. I am also interested in machine learning and AI research and the application of machine learning techniques in nanophotonics. In the summers (May -Aug) of 2018 and 2019, I worked at the 3M company as a research and development graduate intern. Currently I am finishing up my PhD work and expecting to graduate by end of 2021. In my free time I like to play tennis, soccer, or badminton, go hiking or camping, watch movies or TV shows, and play ukulele, violin, or kalimba.
