                             EDUCATION

 Ph. D.  Marquette Univ.  Milwaukee, WI  Sep. 1992   EECE (Matl.Sc./Ceramics)
 M. S.   Marquette Univ.  Milwaukee, WI  Dec. 1987   Solid State Physics
 M. Sc.  Rajshahi Univ.   Rajshahi       Jan. 1981   Physics
 B. Sc.  Rajshahi Univ.   Rajshahi       Jul. 1978   Honors

                            EXPERIENCES
1987-1992:
RESEARCH:   Researched and developed high voltage/high power thick film 
	    resistor (TFR) based on tin oxide and ruthenium oxide under 
	    a project funded by the Astronautics Corporation of America. 
	    Investigated the conduction mechanism(s) and microstructural 
	    properties of tin oxide based TFR samples obtained 
	    commercially and prepared in the laboratory. Immittance 
	    spectroscopy (IS) and Electron Microscopy was used as main 
	    tools of investigations. Observed nano-crystal assisted 
	    conduction mechanism in tin oxide based thick film resistors.
            
	    The experimental procedure included a computer acquisition 
	    of immittance spectroscopic data using HP 4192 Impedance 
	    Analyzer.  Collected data were then reduced using a 
	    non-linear complex plane fitting technique.  An algorithm 
	    was developed and few computer programs were written for 
	    this purpose. Microstructural characterizations were done 
	    using scanning, transmission and high resolution electron
            microscopes.

TEACHING:   Taught Electronic Devices and Applications (EECE 010), Analog 
	    Electronics Circuit Lab (EECE 141) and General Engineering.  
	    TA for physical principle of electronic devices (EECE 114, 165), 
	    electrical circuits (EECE 011), EM fields (EECE 121).  
	    Supervised 7 undergrad design projects  one of which (Tree-Alert), 
	    a safety device to automatically extinguish fire  won the first 
	    prize at the freshman engineering design show 1991 of Marquette 
	    University.
1985-1987:
RESEARCH:   Carried out experimental study of force characterization of a 
	    3-component lipid system using X-ray diffraction and osmotic 
	    pressure techniques (MS thesis).

TEACHING:   Teaching Assistant for various physics courses plus tutoring.

1981-1985:
RESEARCH:   Scientific Officer, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission, Dhaka.  
	    Involved in research in the field of theoretical physics and 
	    computer programming.  A FORTRAN program was developed to compute 
	    binding energies by solving Schrodinger equation.  A theoretical 
	    potential was proposed to describe the cascade-nucleon bound system.

TEACHING:   Developed curriculum and taught computer programming courses 
	    (FORTRAN and BASIC) to managerial personnel of local corporations 
	    and businesses of Dhaka. Taught physics courses in the training 
	    of personnel in reactor operations.

1979-1981:  Conducted experimental study of stimulation processes
RESEARCH:   and mass estimates of non-mesonic mesonic hypernuclei (M.Sc. 
	    thesis).  Nuclear emulsion techniques and high magnification 
	    optical microscopes were used.
                                 
                    LABORATORY EQUIPMENT SKILL

Data        Immittance spectroscopic data acquisition setup using PCs,
acquisition HP 4192A impedance analyzer, multiplexors and other computer 
	    interfaceable meters, PAR low frequency spectrum analyzer.

Microscopy  JEOL JEM-100CX II Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope 
	    along with other accessories and  JEOL JSM-35 scanning 
	    electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy. 
	    Hitachi H-700 TEM and UHV H-9000 HREM.

Software    ISDACQ: A QuickBasic program. This is a data acquisition 
development program that uses a standard interface (GPIB) to acquire 
	    immittance spectra. Another version of this program, 
	    ISDACSITU, is used for high speed acquisition, suitable 
	    for in-situ sintering kinetics measurements by IS.
                           
	    CPFMULIT: FORTRAN program.  This program is based on an 
	    algorithm (generation and elimination) developed for 
	    immittance spectroscopic (IS) data analysis.  It can 
	    resolve multiple (overlapping) relaxation processes.
                           
	    CPFAUTO: FORTRAN program.  When IS measurements are done 
	    repeatedly keeping all but one variable fixed then data 
	    analysis requires a repetitive operation with a fixed 
	    set of run-time choices.  This program is designed to 
	    analyze automatically all the spectra stored on a disk 
	    and to save extracted parameters in a file.
