Four-Fold Resolution Increase in Single-Fiber Endoscopic Imaging
2018-11-13
A technical seminar on “Four-Fold Resolution Increase in Single-Fiber Endoscopic Imaging” will be held from 3.00 – 4.00 pm, Tuesday, 13th November 2018 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, BUET, jointly organized by the Department of BME, BUET and IEEE ComSoc BD Chapter. The talk will be presented by Dr. Joseph M. Kahn, Professor, E. L. Ginzton Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University, CA,USA. Dr. Kahn’s main fields of research include Single-Mode Fiber Communications, Spatial Multiplexing and Multi-Mode Fiber Communications, Multi-Mode Fiber Microscopy and Sensing, Free-Space Optical Communications and Multi-Input Multi-Output Radio Communications. Dr. Khan applies principles of photonics, signal processing, communications and information theory to advance the performance of communication or imaging systems.
Joseph M. Kahn received the A.B., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from U.C. Berkeley in 1981, 1983 and 1986, respectively. From 1987-1990, he was at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Crawford Hill Laboratory, in Holmdel, NJ. He demonstrated multi-Gbit/s coherent optical fiber transmission systems, setting world records for receiver sensitivity. From 1990-2003, he was on the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at U.C. Berkeley, performing research on optical and wireless communications. Since 2003, he has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where he heads the Optical Communications Group. His current research interests include: fiber-based imaging, spatial multiplexing, rate-adaptive and spectrally efficient modulation and coding methods, coherent detection and associated digital signal processing algorithms, digital compensation of fiber nonlinearity, and free-space systems. Professor Kahn received the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1991. He is a Fellow of the IEEE. From 1993-2000, he served as a Technical Editor of IEEE Personal Communications Magazine. From 2009-2014, he was an Associate Editor of IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking. In 2000, he helped found StrataLight Communications, where he served as Chief Scientist from 2000-2003. StrataLight was acquired by Opnext, Inc. in 2009.

Biomedical Engineering Applications to the Study of Gait Control
2018-04-26
A technical seminar on “Biomedical Engineering Applications to the Study of Gait Control” will be held from 3.00 – 4.00 pm, Thursday, 26th April 2018 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, BUET. The talk will be presented by Dr. Rezaul Begg, Chair, Program in Assistive Technologies Innovation (PATI); Professor of Biomechanics, College of Sport & Exercise Science, Victoria University, Australia. Dr. Begg’s main fields of research include Biomechanics, Biomedical Engineering, and Machine Learning. Dr. Begg focusses on developing new technologies and techniques with applications to human gait pathologies. These techniques have been utilized to minimize balance-loss and falls which can result from tripping or slipping across a range of populations.
Professor Rezaul Begg received his BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Aberdeen, UK. He is now Chair of the Program in Assistive Technologies Innovation (PATI) at Victoria University, Australia. He leads a research group in Gait and Intelligent Technologies, comprising 7 PhD students, 4 postdoctoral research fellows and 6 senior research personnel. His research interests include Gait and Balance Biomechanics, Exoskeletons, Machine Learning and Wearable Sensors. He has over 250 research publications and 2 patents, and his research is supported by the principal Australian Government Research funding agencies, the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). He has received several awards for academic excellence, including the ICISIP Best paper award, VC’s citation award for excellence in research at Victoria University, the BUET Gold medal and the Chancellor prize.

Solving Orthopaedic Clinical Challenges through Computational Biomechanics and Mechanotransduction Approach
2017-12-20
A technical seminar on “Solving Orthopaedic Clinical Challenges through Computational Biomechanics and Mechanotransduction Approach” was organized at 2 pm, Wednesday, 20th December 2017 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, BUET. The talk was presented by Mr. Tanvir Mustafy, Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Mechanical Engineering, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montreal, Québec, Canada. Mr. Mustafy’s field of research is orthopedic biomechanics with a particular interest in Human Spine Modeling and mechanical regulation of growth and development of bone tissues for the orthopedic treatment of progressive musculoskeletal pathologies affecting infants and adolescents.
