About Me

Hi! I am Minhazul Islam and I hail from a small but green and beautiful country named Bangladesh, on the other side of the world. I would just like to add that we have the longest sea beach (Cox's Bazaar) in the world (yes, serenity and romanticism) and we co-hosted the last Cricket World Cup (yes, plenty of team spirit). I am a pleasant Pratten (Class of 2015), doing an Electrical & Computer Engineering Major. I am also interested in pursuing a minor in Physics as well as a Certificate program in the Energy and the Environment. In the realm of sports, I love cricket and soccer and will most probably be adding basketball to the list soon. As for my hobbies, for which I surely do not get enough time, I do photography and go out for movies. Besides, I am very interested in almost all sorts of community service activities. I am also always up for any random fun time!

Name Pronunciation

I go around by the name Minhaz. In order to to pronounce it, I would suggest breaking it down to : 'Min' and 'haz', and then say it.The first one sounds like 'Min' as in mini and the second one, 'haz', as in buzz(just replace the 'b' with 'h'. Now, practice a few times, take a deep breathe and just 'duu' it in one go. I am sure that you will not let me down!

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

3D-Surface Plots

Three dimensional matrices and vectors have always pleasantly intrigued my logic and reasoning quotients. The prospect of mapping multiple functions onto multiple planes, and the ability to vividly and lively analyze the data in the different forms of ‘mesh’ and ‘surfc’, all seem very interesting to me. I also think the different features like illuminating, transparency, mapping the image onto a plane with gradients, help make more and more out of the data. Besides, the final exhibit looks so cool and it makes me feel really tech-savvy!
