Mohammad
Bellal Hoque is serving as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Textile
Engineering at World University of Bangladesh (WUB) since September 2023. He is
currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Textile Engineering at Dhaka
University of Engineering and Technology (DUET), where he has successfully
completed the first phase (out of two planned phases) of his research. He holds
an M.Sc. in Textile Engineering from DUET and a B.Sc. in Textile Engineering,
with a major in Apparel, from WUB.
With
over eight years of academic and professional experience, he has been actively
engaged in undergraduate thesis supervision, career advising, and higher
education guidance. His research involvement includes work at leading
institutions such as the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), the
Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR), and DUET.
The research interests of Mr. Hoque encompass natural dyeing and finishing, natural
fiber-reinforced composites, sustainable textiles, and functional materials. He
has authored 24 publications in peer-reviewed journals, including two book
chapters and one conference paper. He is currently contributing as an associate
investigator to a research project funded by the Ministry of Science and
Technology (MOST), Bangladesh, focused on the development of partially
degradable composites for civil construction applications.
