POST GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES SEMINAR ON “ISLANDING DETECTION OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION” & “ANTENNAS FOR BIO-MEDICAL APPLICATIONS”

On 21^st March 2016, two seminars of Post Graduate Seminar Series were organized by Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, at Room No 266, Faculty of Engineering Building, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB). The speakers were Dr. Mollah Rezaul Alam (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AIUB) and Mr. Farhadur Arifin (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AIUB). The main motivation of the seminars were to acknowledge the participants to the importance of “Islanding Detection of Distributed Generation” and “Antennas for Bio-medical applications”.

Mr. Rinku Basak (Head, Dept. of EEE [Graduate Program] & Assistant Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) gave the inauguration speech, he addressed the participants to know the details of ‘Distributed Generation’ and ‘Antennas’. Then came the turn of the speaker Dr. Mollah Rezaul Alam, where he started his speech by explaining the basics of Distributed Generation (DG). He came with the exploration of the challenges of islanding detection. Then he came with currently available islanding detection schemes, discussion on the detection method and motivation of the research. He mentioned that DG energized distribution networks can give rise to a number of problems. At the very end of his speech he showed a recently proposed islanding detection method.

              After this it was turn of the speaker Mr. Farhadur Arifin to give his speech. He started his speech by discussing recent technology trends and challenges of Antennas for bio-medical applications. Then he showed the history of Antennas, ‘wireless capsule antennas’, a case study and some selected research papers. He mentioned that researchers are mainly focused on improving the Antenna characteristics to overcome the human body effect. He ended his speech by answering the queries of the participants.

              Dr. Md. Abdul Mannan (Head, Dept. of EEE [Under Graduate Program] & Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB), Dr. Md. Abu Abdullah (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AIUB), Dr. M. Tanseer Ali (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AIUB), Mr. Shahriyar Masud Rizvi (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AIUB), Dr. Mohammad Nasir Uddin (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE, AIUB) graced the seminar with their presence.
