About

Md. Fokhrul Islam is a researcher dedicated to developing practical, low-cost engineering solutions for pressing public health challenges, with a primary focus on disinfection technologies and biomedical device design. His most cited work, a 2022 study on a low-cost Ultraviolet Disinfection unit, addresses the urgent need to minimize COVID-19 cross-contamination in public transport. This innovative system features a tower unit with strategically positioned UV-C lamps to achieve 360-degree disinfection, demonstrating a tangible application of engineering to pandemic response. With 13 citations, this paper has informed subsequent research on affordable sanitation infrastructure. Beyond this flagship contribution, Islam’s broader research interests encompass the design and optimization of cost-effective biomedical and environmental systems, aiming to bridge the gap between advanced technology and resource-limited settings. His work is particularly notable for its emphasis on scalability and real-world deployment, offering a model for how targeted engineering interventions can enhance public safety during health crises. For students and researchers, Islam’s profile exemplifies the impactful intersection of creative design, public health necessity, and accessible innovation.
