I am Qazi Saaheelur Rahaman, and I worked as a Master\u2019s Project Student in the Complex Systems Lab from June 2024 to May 2025. My research focused on exploring the phase transition to synchronization in a multiplex network of adaptively coupled Kuramoto oscillators with frequency disorders. I also investigated how different Hebbian learning mechanisms across layers influence the emergence of novel dynamical states in such multiplex systems. Our first study revealed that increasing the interlayer coupling strength upto a certain extent leads the system to sychronize at a lower coupling strengthcan lead to the formation of several distinct synchronization regimes, offering deeper insights into the collective behavior of adaptive networks.<br>During this project, I had the opportunity of working closely with Akash Yadav, whose guidance, conceptual clarity, and coding expertise greatly enriched my research experience. His constant support and openness to discussions\u2014no matter how basic my questions were\u2014made a tremendous difference in shaping my understanding of complex systems research.

My project explored how network structures and individual decisions shape each other through adaptive rewiring. What began as a curiosity about nonlinear dynamics eventually grew into a journey where I learned how complex interactions can fundamentally change the behavior of a system.<br>I feel deeply grateful to have worked under the guidance of Dr. D. V. Senthilkumar, V. K. Chandrasekar, and my mentor Karan Singh. Their support, patience, and encouragement played a huge role in shaping both my project and my confidence as a researcher. One of the things I valued most was the freedom I had to share my ideas. Every suggestion I made was listened to respectfully and openly, which made me feel like a true part of the research process.<br>The weekly lab meetings were another highlight of my experience. Listening to the PhD scholars present their ongoing work exposed me to different perspectives and techniques across nonlinear dynamics. Each presentation sparked new thoughts and helped me understand the depth and diversity of research happening in the field. Those discussions, combined with the interactive nature of the lab environment, gave me countless ideas and helped me develop a much stronger scientific intuition.<br>Instead of just research outcomes, the lab offered me something far deeper, a space where I felt motivated, supported, and constantly inspired to push my understanding further.<br>I am currently in the process of applying for PhD positions, and I hope I will be able to contribute more to the field of nonlinear dynamics in the years ahead.<br>Our collaborative efforts eventually led to the publication of our paper titled \u201cMitigating Cascades in Co-evolving Networks with Targeted Rewiring\u201d in PRE Letters. Seeing the project evolve from early ideas to a published work was one of the most memorable accomplishments of my academic journey.<br>The open discussions, collaborative spirit, and mutual respect within the group made every day enjoyable and motivating. The time I spent in the lab has shaped my interests, strengthened my foundation, and given me the confidence to pursue research with even greater passion.<\/p><ul
