- Dr. Md. Sarwar Hosain was born in Ishwardi, Pabna, a well-known town in Bangladesh. After completing his secondary education, he pursued higher secondary certification at Ishwardi Government College. After successfully completing his H.Sc., he then moved to Rajshahi and finished his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Information and Communication Engineering (ICE) from the University of Rajshahi (RU). Dr. Sarwar began his teaching career as a lecturer at the European University of Bangladesh, later joining Hamdard University Bangladesh in the same role. In September 2013, he accepted a position as a lecturer at Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST). In June 2019, he completed his MPhil in Information and Communication Engineering at PUST. In 2021, he was awarded the prestigious MEXT Scholarship by the Japanese government, allowing him to pursue his Ph.D. studies. He successfully earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 2024 from Saitama University, Japan, for his dissertation titled "Enhancing Speech Emotion Recognition through Bone-Conducted Speech: Development, Dataset Creation, and Cross-Cultural Analysis." Currently, he is an Associate Professor in the Department of ICE at PUST, Pabna. His research area includes speech emotion recognition, bone-conducted speech, and wireless communication. Dr. Sarwar is affiliated with several organizations, including IEEE and ACM. He has published several peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers.
