AIUB Students Win Best Paper and Best Poster Paper Awards at International Conferences

Students from the American International University–Bangladesh (AIUB) have demonstrated their technical expertise and innovative capabilities by securing prestigious awards at two international conferences.

The research paper titled “A Low-Cost Kalman-Filtered IoT Platform for Continuous Indoor Air-Quality Monitoring in a Tropical Climate,” authored by Shafin Ahmed Apurba, Md. Mahedi Hasan Chowdhury, and Md. Ali Shahed from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), AIUB, and Tonmoy Hassan from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), AIUB, under the supervision of Debraj Das, Lecturer, Department of EEE, AIUB, received the Best Paper Award at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Optics, Machine Learning and Emerging Technology (OMLET 2026), held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 29 to 31 October 2026. The research presented an affordable IoT-based platform for continuous indoor air-quality monitoring, demonstrating the practical application of engineering knowledge to address real-world environmental challenges.

In another notable achievement, the research paper titled “Design and Implementation of a Smart Obstacle Detection Glass Using Arduino Uno for Enhanced Mobility for Visually Impaired People,” authored by Sushanto Vharati, Md. Abdullah All Fahad, Sabbir Ahmed Shimul, Md. Anisur Rahman, and Asif Sayed from the Department of CSE, AIUB, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Muhibul Haque Bhuyan, Department of EEE, AIUB, received the Best Poster Paper Award at the International Conference on Electronics and Informatics 2026 (ICEI 2026), held at the Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka, on 7–8 May 2026. The research, presented by Md. Abdullah All Fahad, demonstrated the practical application of microcontroller-based systems and sensor technologies in developing an assistive solution to enhance mobility for visually impaired individuals.

Both achievements reflect AIUB's commitment to promoting experiential learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and research-oriented education. These accomplishments further reinforce the university's dedication to fostering innovation, technical excellence, and student participation in the global research community.
