Bio

I am a lecturer of Material Science and Engineering (MSE) Department, in Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (平博亚洲版), Bangladesh. As a faculty, I am responsible for teaching and mentoring undergraduate students, offering theory and lab courses, as well as providing guidance to their research and thesis initiatives. 

My current research interests include -
  • Material simulation and exploration using density functional theory (DFT)
    • Electronic, mechanical and Optical properties of inorganic halide perovskites
    • Band dispersion and band alignment of 2D heterostructure
    • Phonon and thermal properties of quasi-1D materials
  • Numerical and mathematical modeling of composite-based pressure vessel using finite element simulation (Abaqus)

Research

    • Ab initio simulation of inorganic halide perovskite materials
    • Simulation of the structural, mechanical, elastic, electrical and optical properties of new perovskites using the density functional theory.
    • Extraction of the band properties of perovksites using PBE, PBE+SOC and HSE level of theory.

     

    • Design optimization of multi-layer kevlar composite pressure vessel
    • Developed multi-ply Kevlar reinforced Epoxy pressure vessels analyzed by finite element method (FEM) In Abaqus.
    • Optimized the pressure vessel design which improved the stress performance while minimizing the number of costly Kevlar fiber layers.
    • Finite element modeling of altenative fiber-reinforced composite pressure vessel
    • Developed and simulated composite overwrapped pressure vessel using ABAQUS finite element simulations. 
    • Extracted the burst pressure of pressure vessel made of different combinations of natural and synthetic fibers (Jute, Kevlar, Glass and Aluminum foil).
    • Jute and Kevlar hybrid pressure vessel is found to have significant strength improvement over pure jute pressure vessel.
