Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh (SRBD) recently hosted ‘Innovation Day’ from the 21st to the 23rd of June, 2022. The three-day event was organized to inspire SRBD engineers to come up with innovative and patentable project ideas. The event consisted of three different sessions split between the three days, with each session offering something unique for the attendees.

Day 1 of the event featured a special guest, esteemed Professor Dr. Mohammad Nurul Huda (CSE and MSCSE Director, United International University). He presented a marvelous session on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) titled ‘Making Machines Think’. The session provided great insight into how AI, ML, and NLP can be used to come up with innovative project ideas.

Day 2 of the event consisted of an experience session titled ‘Making Some Noise’, featuring the inventors of a DOI titled ‘The UWB Horn’. They are Md. Jobaed Hossain, Trishna Chakraborty, Imranur Rahman, and Md. Mahmud Muntakim Khan. These talented inventors shared how they came up with the idea, and how they worked as a team to turn this idea into a patentable DOI. This session aimed to provide the engineers attending the session with the inspiration to convert their ideas or projects into DOIs.

The final day of the event saw the hosting of a panel discussion titled ‘Projects to Patents’, which featured some of SRBDs most distinguished inventors: Md. Imtiaz Hossain, Md. Zahid Hasan Polin, Samsad Ul Islam, and Md. Towhidul Islam Chowdhury. They each shared their experiences of coming up with new ideas for projects, and the thinking process behind each of their successful patents. This insightful session featured valuable advice from the authors, which served to inspire the young engineers present in the audience.

The three-day long ‘Innovation Day’ event intended to provide motivation and inspiration to SRBD engineers, so that they can innovate and come up with new ideas that will take SRBD to great new heights. And the latest iteration of this event was met with great response from SRBD engineers, with most sessions seeing a full house.
