Biography

Professor Dr. Muhammad Mahamood Hasan is serving as a Professor in the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet-3114. He is currently leading the department as the Head of the department since November 2022. He started his academic career as a lecturer here. He completed his Master of Engineering Science in the field of Advanced Materials and Energy at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2010. In June 2015, he was awarded Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia for his thesis entitled Synthesis and Thermionic Properties of Oxide-Tungsten Composites and Boride Materials for Solar Thermionic Energy Conversion. During his engagement at SUST, he has supervised a number of undergraduate students. He has successfully completed several research projects and some are ongoing. While most of the projects which the students have undertaken are in his research area of production engineering and renewable energy particularly solar energy projects. Currently, his research project deals with investigations for solar efficiency improvement by PV module cooling using phase change materials (PCM).
