Md. Mahmudul Hasan

About

I am a PhD student in Systems Engineering at Boston University and an Assistant Professor (on leave) in the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), Bangladesh. My research sits at the intersection of control theory, optimization, and renewable energy — developing robust, intelligent controllers that keep converter-dominated microgrids and hybrid renewable power systems stable.

I received my M.Sc. (CGPA 3.92/4.00) and B.Sc. (CGPA 3.89/4.00, 2nd in a class of 120) in EEE from RUET. My work appears in venues including International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems, Applied Soft Computing, and IET Renewable Power Generation, and I serve as a reviewer for Elsevier and Hindawi journals.
