معرفی
Mahbub Islam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Wayne State University. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (2016) from The Pennsylvania State University and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (2009) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
- Postdoctoral Research Assistant, Purdue University (2016–2019)
His research focuses on generative AI and machine learning for discovering novel energy storage materials, particularly electrocatalysts and metal-chalcogenide interfaces for metal-CO2 batteries. He also investigates the physics and chemistry of energetic materials through computational methods.
His recent publications highlight advancements in Mg-CO2 battery charging behavior, Na-S/Li-S battery comparative mechanisms, and MXene functionalization for lithium-selenium systems. These works employ Density Functional Theory (DFT) and machine learning frameworks.
He has received prestigious awards including the NSF CAREER Award (#2441420), NSF Award (#2400109), ACS Petroleum Research Fund Award, DNI Grant, and the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award.
Mahbub Islam teaches ME4210 - Heat Transfer and ME5995 - Special Topics in Mechanical Engineering, with future courses scheduled through Winter Term 2025. He leads research at the APRISM Lab.
