About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at University of California Berkeley. I am working as a graduate student instructor (GSI). Prior to starting my PhD at UC Berkeley, I did my MSc at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where I focused on fabricating Super-hydrophobic surface fabrication and testing the anti-biofouling properties of SHSs. I also observed the bacterial attachment behavior on surfaces using digital holography. After taking hologram images, rest of the works mainly image processing to find 3D tacking of bacteria. I completed my Bachelor of Science from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET). During my undergrad, I worked on computational fluid mechanics using Ansys(Fluent) commercial software. My work was on high speed aerodynamics. I designed a converging nozzle to observe an underexpanded jet behavior. My master's research works mostly experimental while my undergrad was fully computational works. Even though I have a research interest in broad areas of science and engineering, my primary research expertise are in experimental and computational fluid mechanics(CFD). As a long-term career goal, I aim to develop a reputation as a world-class expert on interdisciplinary any fluid-related research.
