PhD Student, Mechanical Engineering
Nguyen Lab, Latrobe 216
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

As of 2024, I am a 4th year PhD student in mechanical engineering (mechanics and materials track) in Nguyen Lab at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. Before Hopkins, I obtained my MS from Washington State University, Pullman, BS from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka.

My research interest lies at the intersection of solid mechanics, computational methods, and materials modeling. Currently, I am working on developing a multiphysics framework, constitutive model, and numerical implementation for stimuli-responsive hydrogels for soft sensing and robotics applications as well as water harvesting. Because of the uncanny fundamental similarities between soft active materials and biological tissues, I am also interested in the biomechanics of tissues. Previously, I worked on the thermomechanical failure of 2.5D/3D microelectronics packaging and continuum dislocation plasticity modeling.

Besides engineering, I find anthropology, mythology, and sociology fascinating. In leisure, I love watching standup comedies and sitcoms, listening to music, going on road trips, reading comics, blogs, and Quora.
