The Center for Nanotechnology Research (CNR) at the American International University–Bangladesh (AIUB) has successfully organized a seminar titled “Emerging Spinel Nanoferrites: Toward Advanced Electronic and Functional Device Applications” on November 5, 2025. The seminar aimed to inspire students from the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Computer Engineering (CoE), and Industrial and Production Engineering (IPE) departments to engage in advanced materials research and explore the vast opportunities within the field of nanotechnology.

The session commenced with an introduction on the spinel nanoferrites by Dr. Mohammad Mahbub Rabbani, Professor, Department of Chemistry; Deputy Director, Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation (A2I2); and In-Charge, Center for Nanotechnology Research (CNR). Dr. Rabbani highlighted the vision and ongoing activities of the CNR laboratory, encouraging students to participate in innovative research on various nanomaterials and their applications in modern electronic devices. He also welcomed the participants to the seminar and pointed out the wonderful structures, tunable magnetic properties, and versatile applications of spinel nanoferrites, in brief.

Dr. Md. Sarowar Hossain, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, AIUB was the speaker of the seminar and delivered a keynote speech covering structures, and properties of spinel nanoferrites and their possible applications. Dr. Hossain shared his extensive research experience on spinel nanoferrites, magneto-dielectric coupling, and spintronic materials. He emphasized not only the synthesis and characterization of spinel nanoferrite materials but also their integration into practical device applications such as biomedical and electronic devices. Dr. Hossain encouraged students to engage in multidisciplinary and large-scale research to bridge materials science and engineering innovation.

Prof. Dr. Saiful Islam, honorable Vice Chancellor of American International University-Bangladesh, expressed his keen interest in the topic of spinel nanoferrites and appreciated the CNR’s initiatives in advancing nanomaterials research at AIUB. He encouraged students and faculty members to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration in this emerging scientific field.

Mr. Mashiour Rahman, Dean-In-Charge, Faculty of Science and Technology, AIUB, also delivered a valuable speech emphasizing the growing importance of nanotechnology in shaping future innovations across multiple engineering domains. He specifically focused on the prospects of collaborative research work for the CSE students.

Prof. Dr. Md. Abdur Rahman, honorable Pro Vice Chancellor of American International University-Bangladesh, delivered an insightful address focusing on the scientific and technological significance of spinel nanoferrites. He discussed their potential applications in electronic devices, power systems, and functional materials, while also acknowledging the role of collaborative research in advancing this emerging field.

The seminar became highly interactive during the open discussion session, where distinguished faculty members from various departments actively shared their insights and suggestions. Participants included Dr. S. Mosaddeq Ahmed, Professor and Head, Department of Chemistry; Dr. Humayra Ferdous, Associate Professor and Head, Department of Physics; Dr. Sarfuddin Ahmed, Professor; Bithi Paul, Assistant Professor; and Dr. Shovan Kumar Kundu, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics; and Dr. Abdullah Al Nahid, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry. Their contributions enriched the session with diverse academic perspectives and research ideas. Distinguished faculty members from the Department of Physics and Chemistry were present in the seminar among others. A remarkable number of students from the different Engineering Departments participated in the seminar.
