Bio

Welcome to my homepage. I started my academic activities as a 1st-year student in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) of Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) [Erstwhile Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT), Khulna] in 20th June 1987. I received the B.Sc. Engineering Degree on 12 October 1991 and then joined as a Research Assistant in 1992 under a research project titled "Evaluation of Co-generation Potentials in Khulna Newsprint Mills and Mobarokgonj Suger Mills" financed by the Science and Technology Ministry, Bangladesh. The project was carried out by the direct supervision of former Prof. Dr. Abdur Rahim Mollah, Dept. of EEE, KUET. After completing the Research Project I joined as a Lecturer in the same Department in June 1993. I received the M.Sc. engineering degree from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) in 1998 and then got an Assistant Professor position in the same Department. In 2000, I started my Ph.D. research at Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT), Japan, and completed Doctor of Engineering Degrees (D. Eng.) in 2004. After completing the D. Eng. Degree, I got an Associate Professor position in 2005 in the same department of KUET. Currently, I have been serving as a Professor since 2007 in the same Department and University. My main responsibilities are to conduct theory and sessional classes at undergraduate and graduate levels and hence to supervise student’s thesis and research works. I am interested in modeling and simulation of electronic and optoelectronic devices. I also work in optical fiber/free-space communication systems. Recently, I am working on smart sensing device development. Short description of my professional experience, research, and publications are available in this site.
