I graduated from the University of Toledo, with my Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Upon completion of my masters, in September 2015 I joined the Power Delivery Innovation Group at UNC Charlotte, and currently working on temperature dependent modeling of transmission lines.

I grew up in Bangladesh, and completed my B.Sc from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) specializing in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduation, I worked for Energypac, where I gained three year of leadership and hands-on experience on power systems.

Research Area:

  • Modeling of overhead transmission lines.
