Masuk Ridwan is a EEE graduate with research interests spanning quantum communication, astrophysics, and cosmology. His undergraduate thesis was based on quantum error-correcting codes using Qiskit. Moreover, his research experience includes gravitational lensing and galaxy modeling in collaboration with NASA’s Space Telescope Science Institute, 21 cm signal observation and simulation with Center for Astrophysics, Space Science and Astronomy (CASSA), IUB and CubeSat development with Bangladesh Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization (SPARRSO).

 

His current research focuses on early-universe cosmology, including stochastic inflation, and modeling primordial black hole formation based on a Summer Internship organized by International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).

 

Beyond research, he has been actively engaged in community service and science outreach, contributing to educational initiatives for underprivileged children and organizing academic and cultural events that promote scientific awareness.
