Biography

Dr. Deeba obtained her B.Sc and M.Sc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2009 and 2013 respectively. She received University of Queensland International Student Scholarship to pursue her PhD in 2013 and achieved PhD degree in 2017. Dr. Deeba won several awards during her PhD candidature such as best presentation awards in IEEE Queensland section 30-years celebration and University of Queensland EAIT postgraduate conference. Dr. Deeba has won the international travel award from school of ITEE of UQ through which she visited California Independent System Operator, Florida International University and University of California Los Angeles in USA in 2016. Dr. Deeba worked as an Engineer in Bangladesh Power Development Board for 2 years. She also worked as a teaching assistant for several courses in the University of Queensland such as “Electric Signal and Systems” and “Electromechanics and Electronics” for four semesters.
Dr. Deeba came back to Bangladesh and joined as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of North South University in August, 2017. Dr. Deeba has published several journal and conference papers during her research career.  Currently, she is working on energy storage control in distribution systems.
