Geelong, Australia
Currently, I have been working with the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) as an Associate Research Fellow since May 2017, in the ARC Training Centre in Alloy Innovation for Mining Efficiency (mineAlloy). In my role, I am conducting research (mostly numerical modelling) on the wear lining materials employed in the mining sector.

I have over ten years of multi-disciplinary laboratory-based research experience in the broader field of Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering. Before joining Deakin University, I have worked as a Research Assistant in the school of engineering at The University of Newcastle, Australia concentrated on industry based engineering research on the wear of materials. Before this, I have worked as a Consulting Engineer with TUNRA Bulk Solids Australia more than a year focussing on industry based several engineering projects. Also, I have received a year of overseas working experience as a Laboratory Analyst in SGS Bangladesh Ltd, and as a Visiting Scholar at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, in 2008, focused on the characterisation of composite materials.

In addition to the research experience, I have teaching experience as a Casual Academic (Lab Demonstrator) in the University of Newcastle, in 2013, and as a Teaching Assistant in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering Discipline at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, in 2009.

I achieved Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Newcastle, Australia, in February 2016. Before admitting PhD, I obtained Master of Philosophy (M. Phil) in Materials Science from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh, in February 2010. In my PhD studies, I have developed an energy-based empirical model for determining erosion rate that can predict the service life of wear liner.
