Biography

Syed Nazmus Sakib is an emerging researcher and educator in the field of renewable energy materials and device engineering, with a particular focus on microwave-assisted fabrication of perovskite solar cells. He earned his PhD in Engineering at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, through the International Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarship (iMQRES). His doctoral research, titled 'Rapid Microwave Annealing of Perovskite Solar Cells,' explored thermal–electromagnetic interactions governing perovskite thin-film formation and demonstrated that controlled microwave annealing significantly enhances crystal quality, film uniformity, and long-term device stability. Dr. Sakib previously served as a Lecturer in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at Daffodil International University, Bangladesh, where he taught courses on electronics, communication systems, and renewable energy, and supervised undergraduate projects. His work at Macquarie University focuses on bridging materials processing innovations with photovoltaic performance optimization, developing unique experimental-simulation frameworks to study microwave absorption dynamics and heat transport in hybrid halide perovskites. Dr. Sakib is an active member of IEEE and has contributed to various research publications in high-impact journals. His achievements include winning the Macquarie University 3-Minute Thesis Competition in 2024 and receiving the School of Engineering Excellence Award for Outstanding Sessional Teaching.
