Hi, I’m Mahedi Hassan.
I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I joined the NanoSep Lab in Spring 2026. My current research focuses on ion and solvent transport through nano-confined channels using two-dimensional polymer systems combined with nanofabrication techniques. The goal of my work is to experimentally validate unresolved theoretical questions and explore possible new physics in nanoscale transport.
My broader research interests include nanoscale mass and energy transport, quantum effects in confined systems, and advanced nanofabrication. I am particularly interested in understanding how transport behavior changes when materials and fluids are confined to extremely small dimensions.
Before starting my Ph.D., I completed my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Montana State University, Bozeman in 2025. During my master’s research, I experimentally investigated heat transfer mechanisms in microfabricated porous media. A key aspect of my work was isolating radiation effects from solid conduction to better understand heat transfer behavior in complex microstructures.
I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2022. For my undergraduate thesis, I worked on numerical simulations of turbulence and its effects on aerodynamic drag and lift.
Outside of research, I enjoy reading biographies and history, especially books about scientists from the Greek and Roman periods through the medieval era and modern times. I also enjoy fishing, playing volleyball and cricket, and playing FIFA on a gaming console. I am also a cat lover.
