Biography

Md. Zahidul Islam has completed his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in September 2013 from Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET). Driven by his passion for academia, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) on March 9, 2016. Before joining SUST he was serving as a Lecturer at Atish Dipankar University of Science and Technology. Currently, he is pursuing his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in the J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station. His research focuses on the synthesis of the large-scale Carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode for energy storage systems. He believes in creating a world where the environment does not need to be protecting.
