Recommendations

What collaborators say

Professional recommendations from LinkedIn—internship mentors, managers, instructors, and long-term collaborators.

“I feel fortunate to have mentored Mehedi during his internship at Meta Reality Labs. His expertise in FPGA design and hardware control significantly advanced the progress of our laser-related project. Mehedi quickly adapted to our team and, through cross-functional collaborations, helped develop a complex yet portable laser control system using custom-designed laser drivers and FPGA boards. His hard work and talent were crucial to the project’s success, and I am confident that the systems he developed will continue to be valuable assets for our team in the future.”

Risheng Cheng Research Scientist, Meta Reality Labs · Aug 31, 2024 · Mentor

“I had the pleasure of working with Mehedi as an engineer during his internship on next-generation Intel Xeon processors. His exceptional expertise in engineering design and analytical abilities made a significant impact on our team. In fact, his work was so outstanding that we extended his internship to continue benefiting from his valuable contributions. Mehedi consistently earned the trust of our team through his meticulous analysis using innovative tools and methodologies. I highly recommend Mehedi for his exceptional skills and dedication to engineering excellence.”

Syed H. CPU / SOC / physical design, Intel · Jul 2, 2023 · Direct manager

“During his internship at Intel, Mehedi showed a strong foundation in electrical engineering, as well as an aptitude for simulation and Cadence suite tools. He was not shy to ask questions and did so with the intent of learning, rather than simply completing his work; an important distinction to make. Mehedi delivered high quality engineering results and acted as a fully fledged member of our design team, rather than simply performing ‘intern work’. Mehedi would make an excellent fit for many different types of engineering roles.”

Mitchell Cook RLS / Physical Design Engineer, Intel · Jun 2, 2023 · Same team

“Mr. Mehedi Galib took Introduction to Data Science with me in Spring 2023. His performance was one of the best in the course. He enthusiastically participated in the class and helped in making the class interactive. Using his diverse and strong background in computing, he added interesting insights that helped other students. He is pleasant and friendly and it was a privilege to teach him.”

Dr. Abhijit Dutt, Ph.D Professor of the Practice (CS), UMBC · May 27, 2023 · Instructor

“Mr. Mehedi Galib is a pioneer in Bangladesh for the Mortality Data Research Working Committee of the Actuarial Society of Bangladesh (ASB). He has maintained the Mortality Database of ASB with high dedication since 2008 and this data was presented as the mortality trend in Bangladesh at the 31st International Congress of Actuaries (ICA 2018) in Berlin, Germany and the 30th ICA in Washington, DC, USA. Moreover, he successfully completed a one-year internship in the actuarial department of a local life insurance company as an actuarial student of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), UK.”
