Biography

I am presently a third-year PhD student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, advancing my academic journey following the completion of my BSc in mechanical engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Before embarking on my PhD at the University of Iowa, I held a position as an officer in the project management division at Renata Limited. I also gained valuable industry experience through a month-long attachment with LafargeHolcim Bangladesh Limited. My professional focus centers on research and development, project management, and teaching. I specialize in combustion research, HVAC systems design and installation, and fundamental industrial maintenance. 

Besides working as the lab safety manager, my responsibilities include combustion research, nanofuel settling studies, and mentoring and collaborating with our undergraduate research assistants. 

My future goal is to establish myself as a skilled and insightful experimental researcher and to have meaningful contribution in my field of study.
