Amit Barua is currently a doctoral researcher in the research group Materials for Flexible Devices at the University of Turku. He came from Bangaldesh and obtained his M.Sc. in Electronics Engineering from University of Southern Denmark and B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from American International University-Bangladesh. He previously served as a research assistant in the Smart Materials group at SDU NanoSyd, Mads Clausen Institute in Denmark. 

My current research is focusing on the design, fabrication, characterization and optimization of the various kind of flexible strechable breathable transparent and biodegradable sensors which can be implicated as electronic skins for healthcare and energy technologies and other flexible devices for IoT applications. 

Amit Barua has developed solid teaching experience at the University of Turku, supported by the completion of pedagogical training courses. Since Autumn 2023, he has been serving as a teaching assistant for the MTEK courses (i) Measurement and Instrumentation and (ii) Imaging Methods for Materials Research. In this role, he delivers lectures on signals and systems, analog devices and systems, and digital devices and systems in Measurement and Instrumentation course. He is also responsible for laboratory demonstrations, poster presentations, and the supervision and evaluation of final projects and reports in these courses.

His teaching approach emphasizes clarity and student engagement, contributing to a supportive learning environment. In addition, he has actively contributed to the development of teaching materials, project tasks, and course planning, further strengthening his skills in instructional design and course implementation.
