Dr. Md. Abdul Hannan is a Professor and the Head of the Department of Textile Engineering at Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Gazipur. He completed his PhD in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from the University of Dhaka in 2022. He obtained his Master’s degree in Textile Technology from the University of Boras, Sweden in 2011, following his Bachelor’s degree in Wet Processing Engineering from the College of Textile Technology, University of Dhaka in 1997. Dr. Hannan began his professional career as a Production Officer at Sinha Textile Mills Ltd. in 1999. Later, he served as an Instructor and Chief Instructor at government technical institutes before joining DUET as a faculty member. Over the years, he has held several academic positions including Assistant Professor and Associate Professor, before becoming a Professor. His research primarily focuses on sustainable textile processing, chemical-free wet processing, formaldehyde-free finishing, mordant-free natural dyeing, and the development of bio-composites using natural fibers. Dr. Hannan has published numerous research articles in renowned journals, particularly emphasizing environmentally friendly technologies in textile engineering. He has also contributed to research exploring the historical and cultural significance of muslin fabric in South Asia. His recent works involve improving the physical and mechanical properties of natural fibers like jute and pineapple leaf fiber for composite materials. Dr. Hannan is dedicated to developing green alternatives in textile pretreatment and finishing methods, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of textile manufacturing.
