Graduate Students

Mazharul Islam Lincon

Mazharul completed his MSc degree in Mechanical Design and System Engineering from Andong National University, South Korea in 2021 and his BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Bangladesh in 2014. He worked 4 years as a Mechanical Design Engineer in a home appliances manufacturing company in Bangladesh. During his years of undergraduate and graduate study, he researched on characterization of interfacial behavior of adhesively bonded materials and composite materials. Mazharul joined the group of Dr. Chalivendra at UMass Dartmouth and started his research work from June 2021 as a PhD student. His research mainly focuses on damage monitoring of composite materials under dynamic loading conditions. Mazharul has expertise to work with UTM, FESEM, AFM machines, FDM, and SLA-type 3D printers. He has also expertise in 3D modeling (SolidWorks) and finite element analysis (Ansys).

Joshua Letizia

Hi, my name is Joshua Letizia and I am an undergraduate mechanical engineering student here at the university. My research is currently specializing in fabricating various kinds of fiber-based energy absorbing materials and subsequently characterizing their force loss and deceleration under impact loads testing. Outside of that I am involved in on-campus clubs such as ASME and Solidworks Club. Other interests that I have are reading, playing video games, and gardening.
