BIOSKETCH: Dr. Anhar Bhuiyan earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University (OSU) in 2023, focusing on the development of Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) of ultra-wide bandgap Ga2O3 semiconductors for high-power electronics and ultraviolet optoelectronic applications. Dr. Bhuiyan’s research integrates the synthesis and advanced characterization of semiconductor materials with the design and fabrication of high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices, targeting high-power applications and reliable operation in extreme environments. His work has received widespread recognition, with several publications featured as Editor’s Pick, Hot Paper, and Featured Article in leading scientific journals. Multiple articles have also been highlighted among the Most Cited Articles of 2020–2021, Most Read Editor’s Picks of 2019, and Most Read Scilights of 2018–2019. During his doctoral studies, he was nominated for the ‘Exemplary Graduate Student Researcher’ in the College of Engineering at OSU and was awarded the ‘Presidential Fellowship Award’ – which is considered as the highest honor from the Graduate School at OSU. He also won the ‘Best Student Presentation Award’ at the 63rd Electronic Materials Conference (EMC-2021). Dr. Bhuiyan is also a recipient of the prestigious ‘Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award- 2025’, sponsored by Oak Ridge Associated Universities. Currently, Dr. Bhuiyan is serving as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he continues to push the boundaries of semiconductor materials and device research.
