About me

I am a PhD student at Iowa State University's Department of Mechanical Engineering (USA).

I am Md. Kaviul Islam, and I am a graduate student (Ph.D. program) in the Mechanical Engineering department at Iowa State University (USA). In 2018, I received my BSc Engineering degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology. I am on leave from the Canadian University of Bangladesh, where I was a lecturer. I am currently conducting research on the conversion of  E-waste and biomass waste into sustainable products in laser treatment process.
