About

Sakhawat Hossen Rakib is a rising researcher in biomedical engineering and public health technology, with a focus on low-cost disinfection systems for infection control. His most cited work, "Design of a low cost Ultraviolet Disinfection unit to minimize the cross-contamination of COVID-19 in transport" (2022, 13 citations), addresses a critical need during the pandemic by proposing an affordable, twofold UV-C disinfection system for public transport. The unit features a tower with parallel UV-C lamps achieving 360-degree coverage, alongside a portable handheld device for targeted surface sterilization. This practical innovation aims to minimize cross-contamination in high-traffic environments, demonstrating Rakib’s commitment to accessible health solutions. His research bridges engineering and epidemiology, offering scalable interventions for disease prevention. With 13 citations, this paper has garnered attention for its timely relevance and cost-effective design, marking Rakib as a contributor to pandemic-response technologies. His work underscores the potential of simple, low-cost engineering to address global health challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings.
