Biography

Mostafa Rafid completed his B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in February, 2021. His undergraduate thesis research was completed on the Surface Roughness Effect on Microfluidic Droplets under the supervision of Dr. A. B. M. Toufique Hasan in his “Macro-to-Micro scale Fluids Engineering Lab (MµFEL)”.

He joined as a Lecturer at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Shahjalal University of Engineering and Technology, Sylhet in August, 2022. He is currently working on several projects in the fields of thermo-fluid systems and renewable energy. He wishes to serve and contribute to the country as a teacher, and a researcher to the best of his abilities.
