Seminar on Integrated Optical and Radio Access Network by Dr. Mohammed Zamshed Ali
A talk was given on the month of May, in a seminar organized by the Control
& Applications Research Group (CARG), by Dr. Mohammed Zamshed Ali on Integrated Optical
and Radio Access Network for the to-be thesis students of the Electrical and Communication
Engineering Department. Dr Mohammed Zamshed Ali is an active researcher and contributor in
the field of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications. He is simultaneously involved
with telecom industry R&D, implementation (for 18+ years) and academic teaching (for 6+ years)
activities with a focus on current market trends and upcoming human demands for new technologies.
Dr. Ali is also an adjunct faculty (part time teacher) at the Department of Electrical Engineering
at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Dr. Ali, in his talk, focused on the research scopes on modern telecom that focuses on the best
possible solution with integrated Optical and Wireless Radio Access Networks to fulfill consumers
continuously increasing demand on bandwidth and mobility. The optical and wireless integration
increases the capacity of wireless networks, promotes mobility in access networks, and decreases
access point complexity through centralized management of network nodes. However, this integration
is not yet seamless. There are many interesting areas in optical and wireless integrated environment
that need to be worked on (optimized) to get the full benefit of the convergence. The optimization
of
this converged network offers great opportunities to research for academic students, teachers, and
industry researchers.
Dr. Ali has been recently approved by the School of Engineering and Computer Science to supervise
thesis research of the students of Electrical and Communication Engineering Department. He would be
supervising them from University of Texas.
CARG Arranged Seminar on Smart Grid
CARG and IEEE student
branch jointly
arranged a seminar
entitled "Demand Side
Management in Smart
Grid Perspectives",
which was presented
by Dr. S. Shahnawaz
Ahmed, Visiting Research
Professor, Department
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
In this seminar, Dr. S. Shahnawaz Ahmed discussed the state-of-theart
overview of various programs being used for DSM (Demand Side
Management) with special focus on the recently merging vision for a
Smart Grid and their potentials for a developing and energy starved
country in terms of ease of implementation, sustainability, affordability
and acceptability among common people.
December-2010 : IEEE Distinguished Lecture On "Outcomebased Education for Learning To Learn" By Prof. Rashid
The third D-8 (developing-eight) Ministerial
Meeting on Industries and the seventh meeting, first of its
kind in Bangladesh, of the working group
on Industrial Cooperation was held on Monday (Oct 8), aiming to create
a stronger platform for giving a boost to the establishment of an Automotive
Industry in Bangladesh, and trade and investment within the
member countries. Mr. Dilip Barua, Hon'ble Minister for Industries was
the chief guest of the conference. CARG, BRAC University was a proud
the chief guest of the conference. CARG, BRAC University was a
proud participant of the program (Automotive working group) that
was chaired by Prof. Ainun Nishat himself. The conference was attended
by representatives from the member countries of the D8 summit.
Dr. AKM Abdul Malek Azad was invited to participate the conference
from CARG as a resource person, which contributed to the making of
the policy guidelines for the automotive industry through the D8 meetings
held at the Winter Garden, Ruposhi Bangla Hotel. Such participations
are creating industrial links with our University and helping us
push the researches at CARG a step further.
Jun 2010 : EEE Seminar on Performance Study of Photovoltaic Solar Panel and its Application
In the 2nd annual IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference
- GHTC 2012, held on October 21-24, 2012 Seattle, Washington, USA
that attracted over 250 attendees from 22 countries, CARG (Control
and Applications Research Group) of BRAC University has presented
two successful research papers: "Solar Battery Charging Station
and Torque Sensor Based Electrically Assisted Tricycle",
and "The Solar Home System Component Testing". The papers were presented
by Dr. AKM Abdul Malek Azad, who headed these researches.
The presentation was followed by a conference where Dr. Azad had met
the director of UN Sustainable Energy, Mr. Knut Aanstad, to discuss
further prospects of CARG researches. These papers add to tally of the
thirty-three researches that have already been successfully completed and
appraised as novel and contributions made to the country through these
researches has been praiseworthy. The IEEE GHTC conference aims in
bringing together individuals who are working to improve the lives of the
billions of people around the world living at the bottom of the economic
pyramid.
