IUB students win best poster paper award
EEE students Laboni Sarker and Safia Rahman received a Best Poster
Paper Award at the National Conference on Electronics and Informatics,
organized by Bangladesh Society of Electronics and Informatics. The
conference was held over Dec. 4-5, 2019, at the Atomic Energy Center
and the Chief guest was Arch. Yeafesh Osman, Minister of Science and
Technology.
Their paper was entitled "The Undocumented Electric Vehicles of
Bangladesh," and their' faculty advisor was Prof. Shahriar Khan of the
EEE dept. The students received much encouragement to continue their
research into the successful and sustainable electric vehicle (EV)
industry in Bangladesh. This rapid success of EVs in our own local
market, is in the backdrop of high prices and many obstacles facing
the electric vehicle industry (Tesla, etc.) in developed countries
such as the USA. The local EVs are another example where Bangladesh
has developed its own solutions to its market requirements, rather
than wait for solutions developed abroad.
