Profile

I am a final-year undergraduate student at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, majoring in Electronics & Photonics. I have maintained a CGPA of 3.97/4.00, placing me 4th in my department. My academic interests span VLSI design, analog and RF integrated circuits, optoelectronics, and digital systems. I have research experience in GaN-based digital design and have co-authored publications in IEEE international conferences. I have also completed an industrial attachment with Neural Semiconductor Limited (NSL), gaining exposure to industry-standard IC design workflows using Cadence and Synopsys EDA tools.
