Associate Professor
Dr. Shahed currently holds the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering (IPE) at Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET). He has also been working as a Course Coordinator in the same department since 2023. He earned his PhD in Systems Engineering from the University of New South Wales (globally ranked 19 according to QS World University Rankings 2024), Australia, in 2023. Furthermore, he completed his MSc and BSc degrees in IPE at RUET.
His primary research interests center around modeling and optimizing supply chain scheduling, production scheduling, risk modeling, sustainment, and workforce optimization. During his doctoral studies, he achieved publications in prestigious journals such as Applied Soft Computing, Knowledge-based Systems, and the Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing. External expert recognized his PhD thesis as outstanding and recommended it for the Dean's award. Dr. Mahmud also actively serves as a reviewer for numerous esteemed journals, including the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) and Neurocomputing.
Dr. Mahmud has also gained valuable experience as a Casual Academic at UNSW, Australia. Additionally, he worked as a Research Assistant (RA) with the Capability Systems Centre at UNSW, where he contributed to the development and optimization of adaptive supply chain scheduling with a focus on workforce skills.
