Current research: Biosensor development & image-based optical sensing
I am currently working on the development of paper-based colorimetric biosensors for biomedical applications, combining experimental sensor development, smartphone imaging, and quantitative color analysis. My broader research interests include biosensors & bioelectronics, point-of-care diagnostics, wearable biosensors, micro/nanofabrication, materials characterization, and biomedical imaging.
I am actively seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2027 where I can continue developing expertise in biosensing, bioelectronics, micro/nano systems, and related biomedical technologies.
RESEARCH
My current research focuses on the development of experimental biosensing platforms for biomedical applications, with particular interest in colorimetric and image-based sensing, point-of-care diagnostics, and sensor characterization. I am interested in expanding this work toward broader biosensing, bioelectronics, micro/nanofabrication, and biomedical imaging applications.
I am developing a low-cost paper-based colorimetric biosensor for quantitative biomedical sensing using chemical detection, smartphone imaging, and CIELAB-based digital image analysis.
The current application focuses on cannabidiol detection in reference solutions and saliva as a point-of-care monitoring platform.
Current Stage: evaluate sensor performance using saliva samples collected from human participants.
I am beginning a new research direction focused on electrochemical biosensing strategies for endocannabinoid detection.
My current work involves reviewing the literature and evaluating sensing approaches that may be suitable for selective and quantitative endocannabinoid detection.
EARLIER RESEARCH

LIFE OUTSIDE RESEARCH
Outside the lab, I enjoy photography, filmmaking, and exploring landscapes. Visual storytelling has been an important part of my life alongside engineering and research.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Dhaka, a city full of movement, contrast, and energy. From an early age, I was curious about almost everything. I wrote poems, built small robots, solved problems, made films, and photographed the world around me. I was equally fascinated by the science behind things, always asking why something happened and how it could be explained. That curiosity stretched from everyday physical phenomena to bigger questions in physics, astronomy, and even cosmology.
Over time, this naturally drew me toward mathematics, physics, and engineering, and eventually to BUET, where I studied Mechanical Engineering. Along the way, I learned as much from failed ideas as from successful ones, and that process shaped how I approach both research and life.
Outside engineering, I have always been drawn to quieter forms of exploration. Photography and filmmaking give me a different way to observe people, places, and stories. I enjoy finding meaning in small details, exploring new landscapes, and creating things that connect technical thinking with imagination.
At heart, I remain an explorer, always learning, creating, and searching for new ways to understand the world.
