Dr. MD Ashrafuzzaman
Research & Innovation Coordinator
BIO
With over 15 years of experience in academia, research, project management, and quality assurance (Life Sciences Sector), I have a solid foundation in curriculum design & development, assessment materials preparation improvements, mentoring students, conducting research & report/article preparation. I did my PhD from Uni Bonn, Germany and an MSc from WUR, NL. My extensive work spans esteemed institutions across Australia, Germany, Netherlands, and Bangladesh, where I have held roles such as Professor, Research & Innovation Coordinator, Research Fellow & Development Officer. I have led and secured numerous international & national grants/projects and published over 30 peer-reviewed research articles & 5 book chapters. I excel in dynamic, multitasking, and multicultural environments, with strong dedication, high adaptability, time management, flexibility and team-building skills. My career reflects a strong commitment to academic excellence, hands-on learning, and fostering innovation.
