A team from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) has achieved a remarkable success by becoming Champion at I4N × INNOVENTURE Bangladesh 2026, organized by the Bangladesh Youth Nuclear Congress (BYNC).

The event was held on 8 August 2026 at the American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB). The programme featured technical presentations, poster presentations, project presentations, and a prize-giving ceremony, bringing together young researchers and innovators working in diverse areas of nuclear technology, energy, artificial intelligence, robotics, materials, and environmental applications.

The AUST team participated in the Materials & Environment category with their project titled “Simulation of Broadband SC Source for Early Detection of Explosives & Hazardous Gases.” The project was presented as Poster P0010 by Md. Nazmus Shakib, Ehsan Mahmud Sourav, and Md. Ariful Islam. The project was carried out as a Final Year Design Project (FYDP) under the supervision of Dr. Shah Md.
