Dr. Sazzadur Chowdhury

Biography

Sazzadur Chowdhury, P.Eng., Ph.D., is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Windsor. He completed his B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, followed by M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Windsor in 2000 and 2003, respectively. His research interests primarily include electrostatic MEMS sensors and actuators, as well as MEMS-based planar and non-planar acoustical beamforming arrays in the audio frequency and ultrasonic regimes. Dr. Chowdhury has been engaged in the development of high-performance capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUTs) and MEMS-based radar sensors for automotive collision avoidance. His current research focuses on developing array clusters capable of concurrently detecting information in the acoustical and microwave portions of the spectrum, which are applicable in medical diagnostics, industrial applications, and identification security applications using biometrics. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and has received various awards and grants in Canada for his research in the area of MEMS.
