What my professors and peers say about my work and character
Dr. Sikder Sunbeam Islam
Associate Professor & Chairman, Dept. of EEE
Mr. Abdur Rahman is a punctual and obedient student I had observed as a course teacher. He had submitted all assigned reports on time and always came to my class well-prepared. During his undergraduate studies, I found him very earnest, motivated, enthusiastic, and cooperative, keen to learn new things, and committed to take challenge in the new field of study. He always stands ahead in studies and seems to take stake in academics. He stood 1st position in his batch.
Dr. Md. Shamimul Haque Choudhury
Dean, Faculty of Science & Engineering, IIUC
As course instructor of the course, I witnessed his amazing intelligence in providing a brief, well-thought-out presentation with a new viewpoint by illustrating the prospect. He was punctual and made a concerted effort to follow through on my ideas during his course work. I frequently seen him in leadership capacities, guiding his peers toward group goals.

Sayed Tanimun Hasan
Graduate Research Assistant at University of Portsmouth
I have known Abdur Raman since we started undergraduate in BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Rahman has always been an example of a diligent, hardworking and dedicated person. He firmly executes his research skills. Rahman is one of the most brilliant in our batch I've got in my experience. His event planning, documentation skill, and time commitment are top-notch. I recommend him with high confidence in engineering solutions.
Md. Sarowar Hossain
MS student of EE at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals
Excellent leadership skills having proper knowledge to work with new people & challenging environment.
Muhammad Azharul Islam
Former EEE Student
I know Md. Abdur Rahman for several years as a talented student of the EEE department. Later, as his roommate, I discovered his strong determination and hard-working mentality for achieving success. He is one of the most technically skilled people I have ever encountered. Within 18 months of his graduation, he managed a job, got married, published papers, prepared for IELTS, and secured professor recommendation for higher study abroad. He has something inside him that most people lack.
