Notes
BSc (3.97/4.00) and MSc (3.94/4.00) in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Second MSc in Computer Science and Engineering, partially completed. Strong research experiences, worked on multiple projects, a total of 13 publications spanning the areas of computational design and analysis, modeling and simulation etc. Yet, I did not make it this time. Received no interviews either. I guess international applicants are having terrible luck (plus funding constraints, perhaps) this year. On a side note, I was accepted into the MEng program two years earlier (back in fall of 2024), which I could not attend due to insufficient funding. I was VERY hopeful this time, but it is what it is.
