He proudly mentioned the admission o f foreign students from Nigeria\, emphasizing the university’s growing g lobal presence. Mr. Faysal encouraged students and faculty to contribute t o research through publications\, noting that to take GUB forward\, consis tent research output is essential. Drawing inspiration from the Holy Qur ’an\, he reminded everyone that the very first revelation begins with th e word “read\,” symbolizing the importance of continuous learning and knowledge pursuit.\n\nDr. Faysal also shared his personal journey with IEE E\, mentioning that he served as the Treasurer of IEEE during his time at KUET (2007–2008). Through IEEE\, he gained invaluable experiences\, incl uding opportunities with Ekushey Television and the Bangladesh Navy. He hi ghlighted that IEEE is an enormous professional community and that being p art of it adds significant value to one’s CV and career growth. He concl uded by expressing that IEEE programs have greatly inspired his profession al and personal development.\n\nFollowing his address\, the keynote speech was delivered by Dr. Md Abdur Razzak (Professor & Chairman Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, DU) who captivated the audience with hi s insights on the essence and nobility of research. He began by explaining that the term IEEE itself resonates deeply\, as it represents the home of technology\, innovation\, and knowledge sharing. He described how IEEE co nnects individuals to technology\, research\, and the tech industry\, serv ing as a global platform for collaboration and learning. Dr. Razzak encour aged the inclusion of Robotics\, Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, and Softwa re Engineering (SWE) within IEEE activities\, emphasizing that such fields represent the future of innovation.\n\nDr. Razzak shared that he joined I EEE to contribute to the community and share knowledge\, describing it as a hub of over 400\,000 registered members worldwide\, including a strong p resence in Bangladesh. He noted that many global tech giants and professio nals are associated with IEEE\, which reflects its prestige and influence. \n\nIn his inspiring speech\, Dr. Razzak elaborated on the nobility of res earch\, explaining its depth and discipline. He discussed the criteria for choosing research topics\, encouraging students to identify problems that have real-world acceptance and relevance within the community. Citing Tho mas Edison\, he emphasized that “failing 1000 times” in experiments st ill contributes to progress\, as each attempt adds to collective scientifi c understanding. He advised students to select specific\, narrow research topics\, as meaningful contributions often come from depth rather than bre adth.\n\nDr. Razzak emphasized that research is a continuous learning proc ess—one cannot publish overnight. He illustrated how\, after the inventi on of Bubble Sort\, researchers sought improvement\, leading to the develo pment of Quick Sort and Merge Sort algorithms\, highlighting how innovatio n evolves through persistence and curiosity. He clarified that research do es not require perfect English\, but rather a strong algorithmic foundatio n and analytical reasoning.\n\nHe also discussed the classification of jou rnals\, such as Q1\, Q2\, and their importance in evaluating publication q uality. He advised students to focus on scientific research papers\, ensur ing originality and depth. According to him\, research should be about dig ging deep into a specific problem\, not collecting multiple unrelated idea s. The goal should be to read and understand existing papers\, implement m ethodologies\, compare results\, and develop original insights.\n\nDr. Raz zak shared valuable guidelines for an effective research approach—narrow ing down problems\, focusing on measurable performance metrics\, asking cl ear questions\, and using selective figures and analyses to support findin gs. He encouraged publishing in high-quality journals and reputable confer ences\, particularly those that are Q1\, Q2\, or UGC-approved\, to enhance visibility and credibility in the academic community.\n\nThe seminar conc luded with a strong message: research is not about quantity but depth. Stu dents were encouraged to focus on understanding\, implementing\, and innov ating within their chosen research domains. The event successfully inspire d participants to pursue meaningful research\, contribute to publications\ , and embrace continuous learning as a lifelong goal.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Green University of Bangladesh\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Md.
