Research and Teaching Assistant, Arizona State University

The research project sponsor owns and operates many complex electro-mechanical systems that are decades old.

Due to the cost of replacement, these systems may continue to be used for decades to come, well beyond their intended design life. Continued maintenance requires spare parts, but the original manufacturers may no longer be around to provide them. This research project addresses the problem.

After successfully delivering the software and data model to US Military, the model continued to be used in recent projects involving car join design exploration and automatic tolerance detection for mass manufacturing systems, such as car manufacturing.

• Developed a CAD software in C++ for a redesign problem.

Autism awareness and support through writings and donations

Many parents struggle to accept their child’s diagnosis. The chronic stress of taking care of an autistic kid on top of the social pressure can distract parents from providing the appropriate care the kid needs. I write about various aspects of our struggle and then coach parents of the newly diagnosed kids, so that they can receive proper care and support. I also donate to US and Bangladeshi Autism related organizations.

Organized, volunteered, and performed in Bangladeshi community and college alumni events
