Project Summary

My academic and research journey reflects an evolution from early astronomical curiosity to advanced experimental photonics.

Early Research Fascination

At first, I was deeply fascinated by asteroids and celestial bodies, which inspired my initial independent research and basic astronomical simulations. This early exploration strengthened my analytical thinking and introduced me to scientific documentation and data interpretation.

Machine Learning and Biomedical Projects

My curiosity soon expanded toward computational intelligence. I began learning and experimenting with Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, applying them to biomedical problems. One of my earliest projects focused on the classification of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) stages using supervised learning models, which culminated in my first conference publication. This work gave me practical exposure to data preprocessing, model evaluation, and statistical validation.

Photonics and Optical Simulation Research

Later, I was introduced to the IUT Photonics Research Group, where I began working with Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) waveguides and Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rakibul Hasan Sagor. As my skills matured, I shifted focus to ultrafast optics and nonlinear pulse propagation, using COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB to design and analyze hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) for pulse-compression-based sensing. These experiences built my foundation in both theoretical and simulation-based optical research.
