01 / ABOUT

Engineering energy.
Advancing knowledge.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST), Bangladesh.

I am also a Graduate Research Assistant and PhD researcher in the Energy Systems Group, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA. I joined the group in Fall 2021 and am on study leave from JUST for my doctoral studies.

My work brings together power converter design, predictive control and renewable energy. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology in 2016 and 2019.

03 / PROJECT PORTFOLIO

Ideas put to work.

A closer look at my research in energy conversion, power converter reliability and intelligent control.

MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY

Hydrokinetic energy conversion

Multiphysics modeling and converter design for harvesting energy from flowing water. This work connects electrical, mechanical and thermal behavior with converter aging and control across multiple timescales.

MATLAB / PLECSThermal modeling

RESILIENT POWER SYSTEMS

Stronger rural power grids

An optimization framework for placing grid-forming inverters and capacitor banks to improve voltage stability in a weak rural grid, considering both islanded and grid-connected operation.

Grid-forming invertersOptimization

POWER CONVERTER CONTROL

Predictive inverter control

Model predictive current control for simplified three-level neutral-point-clamped inverters, balancing output current quality, neutral-point voltage and switching losses. Related work examines losses in solar PV inverters.
