I joined ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ in February 2012 as an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Having my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Chemical Engineering from (BUET), I further continued my graduate study in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at and earned my Ph.D. degree in Process Control.
Prior to joining ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University I worked as a postdoctral fellow at University of Alberta from 2006 to 2008 and as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at , Doha, Qatar from 2008 to 2012. I also served as a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at BUET from 1997 to 2000.
My current research focus is on the design of early warning systems for process industries. Supported by a Discovery Grant from NSERC and an IgniteR&D grant from Research and Development Corporation of Newfoundland and labrador (RDC), the alarm system design project aims at developing a risk-based alarm system. My Ph.D. research focused on system identification; more specifically on identification of continuous-time models from sampled data. I continue to work on this topic. Other research topic of my interest includes model validation and valve stiction. For details about research interest please visit the research interest page.
