Curriculum Vitae

About

I am Jishnu Mahmud, a lecturer at BRAC University and a research assistant under Professor Shaikh Anowarul Fattah, PhD, at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I earned my BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) from BUET, specializing in Communication and Signal Processing, where I ranked 2nd in my major group and placed in the top 10% across all EEE majors.

My research focuses on quantum information and computation, and I am currently seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2025 in these areas.

Current Work

I am working on a research project with Sowmitra Das, a visiting researcher at Imperial College London, on using shadow tomography and classical machine learning to facilitate quantum error mitigation on noisy quantum circuits. We believe that shadow tomography offers tremendous possibilities and hope to show that it can be the answer to developing state-of-the-art error mitigation techniques.

Education

Work Experience

At BRAC University, I have co-designed the CSE 481 (Quantum Computing 1) course and offered it after a year of dormancy. We strive to promote and educate quantum computing 1 to undergraduates from different backgrounds. I am also co-organizing a lecture series on Quantum Information by Dr. Tibra Ali, a weekly open-to-all lecture series with meet and greet of students from all over Bangladesh interested in learning quantum computing. I aim to promote, educate, and teach quantum computation and information to the new generation of bright Bangladeshi Undergraduates. I have co-supervised two undergraduate thesis groups on quantum variational algorithms.

Selected Academic Projects

Here are some of the projects I did during my undergrad. Some were course requirements, some collaborated with friends, and others were to learn a particular topic.

  1. Complete (Transient and Steady State) response of variable multinodal circuits: We designed software to visualize the response of any passive network defined by the user using a developed graphical user interface. The code used Laplace and Fourier Transformations to solve RLC electrical circuits.

  2. Speech-emotion detection- Benchmarking the RAVDESS dataset using convolutional neural networks: I designed a convolutional neural network to classify speech data by emotions. The data was preprocessed by several signal processing techniques, which were used to extract a feature matrix fed to the designed CNN structure to attain competitive results.

  3. Intelligent Traffic Control: We designed an intelligent traffic system sensitive to various parameters such as volume, flow, and human emergencies using sequential logical circuits and finite state machines (FSM).

  4. Biometric Fingerprint Sensor Attendance System with Fever Detection—An IOT-based solution (Microprocessor & Embedded system project): We developed a fingerprint attendance system using NodeMCU and Arduino. We further designed a server running hypertext protocols (HTTP) to request to read and write data to the database once the device was connected to a computer.

  5. Investigating the effects of HVDC connection and large industrial loads in IEEE 39-bus networking using PSAF: We investigated the various types of faults occurring under different loading conditions in a multi-bus power system.

  6. Design of a power system to drive a centrifugal pump for agricultural irrigation: We designed a squirrel cage induction motor controlled by intelligent switches serving as a control system for maintaining optimum water levels required for agricultural irrigation.
