BRAC University

A Vision for Change, Recognized Across Asia 🌍

Long before international recognition, Nafira Nayeem Ahmad had a simple goal: to create opportunities for communities that are often overlooked.

At just 16, she founded Amplitude. Today, the initiative has impacted more than 98,000 people across Bangladesh through its work with underprivileged and marginalized communities, according to sources.

Now, the BRAC University student has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026 list in the Social Impact category—an acknowledgment of the difference one person can make when purpose is turned into action.

At BRAC University, we are proud to celebrate students who challenge the status quo, lead with empathy, and create meaningful impact beyond themselves.

Congratulations to our very own Nafira, on this remarkable achievement and global recognition 💙

From BRAC University classrooms to robotic labs at the University of Pennsylvania — Md Rakibul Hasan is showing how curiosity can travel far and create real-world impact. 🚀

The BRAC University alumnus and former Lecturer graduated with Distinction and a perfect 4.00 CGPA in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from Penn’s Stuart Weitzman School of Design. His work explores how robots, materials, and design can come together to shape smarter and more sustainable ways of building for the future.

One of his innovations is even moving toward patent registration 👀
And the journey continues — Rakibul has now also been appointed as a Teaching Assistant at Penn. 💙
