Bangladeshi engineer Dr Nitu Syed is working as a research fellow at RMIT University in Melbourne. She was recently one of Australia's .
"Researchers from all over Australia submitted their research projects in different categories. I also submitted my project in January this year. The results were published in July," Dr Syed said.
" announces it every year."
"The foundation of my education was actually laid by BUET in Bangladesh", said Dr Nitu Syed. Source: Dr Nitu Syed
She received her PhD in Electronic Materials Engineering from RMIT University, Australia in 2019.
As far as I know, no Bangladeshi engineer has been selected in this list before.
After graduating she got the postdoctoral appointments at RMIT University (Australia) and is also working as a visiting researcher at University of Melbourne, Australia.
She has authored over 25 peer-reviewed journal articles. She has completed her Bachelors and Masters in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Bangladesh.
"I came to Australia in 2016 with the RMIT Vice-Chancellor PhD Award Scholarship," said Dr Nitu.
The foundation of my education was actually laid by BUET in Bangladesh.
Dr Nitu Syed, from RMIT’s School of Engineering, works on developing ultra-thin layers of nano-materials, thousands of times thinner than a human hair and tailoring them for a range of applications.
She has contributed greatly to developing nanoscale electronics and piezoelectric devices which has paved the way for next-generation devices with exciting performance.
In recent years she has developed novel techniques for the development of super-thin materials using liquid metal solvents, leading to publications in Nature Electronics, Science and Nature Communications, among others.
"Our new nanomaterials will be able to restore the nanomaterials that we use in mobile touch-screens," she said.
"Other nano-materials will also play a big role in saving the energy of various electronics devices."
Her parents and husband Tanjib Rubaiyat have played a big role in her achievements.
"I am very grateful to my parents. They have inspired me to come this far," she said.
