The article from The Business Standard highlights the challenges and progress of the Semiconductor Technology Research Centre (STRC) at Dhaka University, established in 1985. Despite its long history, the centre has struggled to advance beyond basic research into semiconductor device manufacturing. Dr. Mujib Lennin Palash, the current director of STRC and associate professor at the EEE department, provides key insights into the centre's operations. He emphasizes that while the centre focuses on providing hands-on training to students in material processing, synthesis, and characterization, it lacks the facilities for comprehensive semiconductor device research and manufacturing. Dr. Palash notes that with adequate funding of Tk20-50 crore, it would be possible to start making semiconductor devices. He also highlights the centre's success in training students, many of whom go on to work for international companies like Intel and GlobalFoundries, and expresses hope for developing industry-academia relationships to overcome funding challenges and advance semiconductor research in Bangladesh.

In a recent article published in Prothom Alo, one of Bangladesh's leading newspapers, Abdul Kaiyum, the co-editor of Prothom Alo, highlights the innovative work of M L Palash, a promising Bangladeshi researcher pursuing his PhD at Kyushu University in Japan. The piece sheds light on Palash's groundbreaking research in energy and environmental engineering, focusing on his innovative project to utilize waste heat from garment factory steam boilers for cold storage applications.
Kaiyum's article not only showcases Palash's ingenuity but also emphasizes the potential impact of his work on Bangladesh's industrial sector. The proposed technology could significantly reduce electricity consumption and minimize energy waste, positioning Bangladesh as a leader in sustainable industrial practices.
This recognition from a respected national publication and its co-editor underscores the importance of Palash's research and its potential to drive positive change in Bangladesh's energy landscape. It also highlights the valuable contributions that talented Bangladeshi expatriates can make to their homeland's development when given the opportunity to apply their expertise.
