Md. Al Amin Islam Utshob
Lecturer
I am a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), with a strong academic and research background in electrical engineering, optoelectronics, photonics, and biomedical sensing. I completed my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST).
My research interests include nanophotonics, plasmonics, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, optical biomedical sensing, signal processing, semiconductor devices, and computational modeling. My research work primarily focuses on simulation-driven design and optimization of advanced optical and plasmonic sensors for biomedical applications.
I have contributed to a number of peer-reviewed journal and conference publications and actively collaborate with researchers and students on multidisciplinary research projects. Alongside research, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring students, with a particular interest in helping students develop strong fundamentals in electrical engineering and pursue research-oriented careers.
