Md Arafat Hossain is Professor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Chairman of the Central Computer Centre & ICT Cell of the Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (平博亚洲版) and a member of IEEE, OSA, SPIE and IEB. He received a PhD on smart sensing and instrumentation from The University of Sydney in 2017 and later an Australian Award of Endeavour Fellowship for his postdoctoral research in smart sensing. Throughout this period, Dr. Hossain has conducted the cutting-edge research in the interdisciplinary area of smart sensing and sensor systems and generated some ground-breaking results which have been reported and featured in a number of reputed journals and news including the Nature Photonics News. Among them, smartphone spectrometers and smartphone laser beam profiler are particularly well-recognized. He is also an expert member of 3D printing & technologies and was responsible to establish the facilities at the interdisciplinary Photonics Laboratories (Sydney), when he also helped to develop technologies for some biomedical start-ups at Sydney. Dr. Hossain is also serving as a Review Editor of Frontiers in Sensors journal. He has received a number of awards and honors including the 2016 Hitachi Social Innovation Award, 2014 ResMed Award, two Best Paper Awards, Australian Govt. IPRS scholarship, Norman I Price Award, Australian Award Scholarship and UGC small grant. He has authored 1 book, 25 journals and more than 35 conferences papers, and filed 2 provisional patents in the area of smart sensing and photonics.

Project: 3D printing of optical fibre preforms (May 2015 to Dec 2016) Student: J. E. Comatti, G. Balle, L. Chartier, T. Athanaze, and M. S. Rahme – intern and Talented Student Program (TSP) projects at iPL in collaboration with Prof. G. D. Peng at UNSW, A/Prof. S. G. Leon-Saval at School of Physics, The University of Sydney & A/Prof. M. Lancry at Université Paris-Sud, France. Summary: This project developed the world first optical fibre from a 3D printed preform. Our method has been demonstrated successfully as a low-cost technology for drawing polymer fibres. More broadly, 3D printers capable of processing soft glasses, silica, and other materials are likely to come on line in the not-so-distant future. The recent advancement on the project is the step-index preform from a dual-head 3D printer and more recently, we have successfully drawn tapered fibre directly using the thermal extrusion of a printer nozzle.
芒鈧� Project: Chlorophyll measurements of water using smartphone spectrometer (Feb 2015 芒鈧�� May 2015) Student: TSP projects of 4 undergraduate students at iPL in collaboration with Prof. Maxwell Crossley at School of Chemistry, The University of Sydney Summary: The project aimed to demonstrate the application of a smartphone spectrometer for measuring chlorophyll concentration in water in the field and compare the performance against a benchtop spectrofluorimeter. 芒鈧� Project: Lab-in-a-Phone 芒鈧�� A smartphone fluorimeter for measuring water pH (Dec 2013 芒鈧�� Jun 2014) Student: T. L. Yen, internship project at iPL in collaboration with Dr. S. Ast and A/Prof. P. J. Rutledge at School of Chemistry, The University of Sydney Summary: Using the state-of-the-art technology of smartphone, this project developed a smartphone-based intensity fluorimeter which has been demonstrated for pH measurement and mapping of drinking and environmental water across different sites in Sydney city.Basic Electrical Engineering (undergraduate)

Project: Smart quality assurance of virgin olive oils (Sep 2017 to date) Student: Z. Yu, summer project at iPL, The University of Sydney Summary: This project aims to develop a smartphone-based optical fibre spectrofluorimeter for distinguishing extra virgin olive oil from low-quality refined olive at different stages of their life cycle from production to retail.
Project: Security protocols for IoT-based devices (Sep 2017 to Dec 2017) Student: Z. Yi & M. Aamir, Capstone project at WiNG, The University of Sydney Summary: One project proposed a novel security protocol based on machine learning for IoT constrained devices in smart home system. Another project proposed a novel caching mechanism aiming to improve the performance of a heterogeneous cellular network by reducing data traffic.
Project: Time-resolved and temperature tunable smartphone fluorimeter (Sep 2016 – Feb 2017) Student: Z. Yu, summer project at iPL in collaboration with A/Prof. P. J. Rutledge at School of Chemistry, The University of Sydney. Summary: In this project, a smartphone fluorimeter capable of time-resolved fluorescence intensity measurements has been developed. It’s performance has been demonstrated by measuring the temperature dependence fluorescence intensity for four emitters.
Project: 3D printing material for photonics applications (Sep 2015 – date) Student: M.S. Rahme TSP program at iPL, The University of Sydney Summary: The project aims to produce 3D printable filament by tuning material composition to control refractive index and other optical properties.
