SPIES Lab graduating student, Ahmed Tanvir Mahdad,will be starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Ohio University in their
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science this Fall 2025.
In a crowded job market heavily “skewed” by AI candidates, Tanvir had over a dozen Zoom interviews and about half a dozen on-site interviews at R1 universities, leading to multiple offers in hand. He carefully chose Ohio University as his employer considering multiple factors, the key being striking a balance between the (perceived) prospects of growth and quality of life.
Tanvir will be the SPIES Lab’s 5th PhD student graduating from TAMU who is taking up an academic position (7th graduating student since moving to TAMU in 2021, and 17th graduating PhD student overall). Congratulations!
