About me

Hello! My name is Rounak Saha Niloy, and I am a doctoral student at the University of New South Wales Sydney. My research focuses on the intersection of composite materials, automated manufacturing and machine learning.

I have completed Master of Engineering (Research) in Mechanical Engineering from University of New South Wales. At UNSW, I worked closely with MDO Lab where I conducted research on the field of evolutionary computation with a focus on multi-objective multi-concept optimization.

Before moving to Australia, I obtained Bachelor of Science in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology. Upon completion of bachelors, I have worked in various roles that have allowed me to hone my skills in ship design and project management.

When I am not working, you can find me exploring the great outdoors with my camera in hand. I love capturing the beauty of nature through photography, whether it's the serene landscapes or the intricate details of wildlife and plants. I am always up for a new adventure, and my passion for nature photography continually inspires my professional work. My interests outside of work help me stay balanced and inspired, and I often draw on these experiences in my professional life.

I am always eager to connect with like-minded individuals or potential collaborators. If you are interested in working together, discussing ideas, feel free to reach out through email.

Thank you for visiting my website. I look forward to connecting with you!
