On Monday, January 13, 2025, the Faculty of Engineering (FE), American International University- Bangladesh (AIUB), in collaboration with the IEOM AIUB Student Chapter, hosted a seminar on “Structures, Properties, Applications, and Challenges of Perovskites and Advanced Multifunctional Materials in Research Collaboration Spots”. The session provided an excellent platform for exploring advanced materials research.
The event began with an opening speech by Dr. Mohammad Abdul Mannan, Professor and Associate Dean of FE, who highlighted the importance and benefits of this seminar for students in their research pursuits. Following this, the keynote speaker, Prof. Dr. Mirza Humayun Kabir Rubel, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Rajshahi, presented a comprehensive talk on perovskites materials and their advanced applications.
Prof. Rubel explained key aspects such as hydrothermal synthesis, perovskites' structural properties, and their role in energy materials and superconductivity. His insights into the real-life applications of perovskites were particularly intriguing, and during the Q&A session, he addressed questions on hydrothermal techniques for mass production and practical implementation of perovskites in industrial settings.
Dr. Md. Saniat Rahman Zishan, Associate Professor and Director of FE, AIUB, presented a token of appreciation to Prof. Rubel for his valuable contribution at the seminar's conclusion.
Dr. Md. Ehasanul Haque, Head, Department of Industrial & Production Engineering, AIUB, Dr. Nowshad Amin, Professor and Deputy Director of the Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation, Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, FE, Mr. Mahamudul Hassan, Motivator, IEOM AIUB Student Chapter, other faculty members of the Department of IPE and EEE were present at the seminar.
The seminar aligned with SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by emphasizing sustainable materials, energy-efficient solutions, and eco-friendly manufacturing processes, fostering innovation for a sustainable future.
This engaging seminar successfully inspired students and faculty, fostering collaboration in cutting-edge materials research and offering valuable insights for academic and industrial applications.
