A BRAC University alumnus has attained one of the Thayer School Graduate Student Fellowships, providing him tuition fees, a monthly stipend and insurance to study for a PhD at Dartmouth College in the United States. Pritom Chowdhury graduated from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2015.
Dartmouth College is one of the eight Ivy League universities besides Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Yale University. Studying under the electrical and computer engineering program, Chowdhury’s research will be on developing artificial intelligence (AI)-based wearable devices and semi/non-invasive sensors to monitor and treat complex diseases.
