Md. Ahiduzzaman, Ph.D.
Professor
Md. Ahiduzzaman, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Farm Mechanization and Precision Engineering at Gazipur Agricultural University. He teaches and mentors students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, delivering courses and practical training in postharvest engineering, farm machinery, and energy systems. He has supervised 30 M.S. and 2 Ph.D. students and regularly leads hands-on lab exercises, field trials and pilot demonstrations that connect classroom learning with real-world Bio-processing challenges.
His research focuses on practical solutions for postharvest handling and sustainable energy in agriculture. Major themes include grain drying and storage, improvement of rice processing and parboiling systems, biomass conversion and torrefaction, techno-economic assessment of energy options, and lifecycle/GHG mitigation frameworks for agricultural and other economic sectors. He has led multi-institutional projects funded by national and international agencies (including KGF/GIFS, PAMI, GIZ, World Bank) and published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. Notably, he led the development of a low-temperature paddy drying and storage system and conducted integrated energy-systems modelling during an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alberta.
Presently researching and teaching in the field of agricultural engineering, focus on Postharvest Process Engineering, Grain Drying and Storage Research, Renewable Energy Development and Utilization, and Framework Development for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Policies in Agriculture and Other Economic Sectors. He has experience working in multi-organizational and interdisciplinary teams, evaluating research, and developing projects in the agricultural engineering sector.
Dr. Ahiduzzaman brings strong experience in project management, stakeholder engagement and capacity building—translating research into practical recommendations for industry, government and farming communities. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 from Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh, an M.Sc. in Energy Systems & Management in 2006 from University of Flensburg (Europa-Universität Flensburg), Germany, (DAAD scholar), and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Alberta (NSERC).
