Dr Nazmul Huda is a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering with considerable knowledge from working on industry-based research projects through his PhD and Post-doctoral research. He joined Macquarie University in January 2014 as a founding academic in the establishment of the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering – ensuring its firm grounding in sustainability principles.  Dr Huda has used the design and development of numerous courses to educate and inspire a generation of new Mechanical Engineers in the practice of sustainability in topics such as energy, resources recovery, circular economy, life-cycle analysis, recycling, and end-of-life considerations in product design. He is also the founding academic and Program Director of the Master of Engineering Management program, an interdisciplinary degree offered from Macquarie University developed with joint collaboration from the School of Engineering and Macquarie Business School (MQBS).  

Prior to joining Macquarie University in 2014, Dr Huda completed a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering. His strong passion for computational fluid dynamics in addition to developing novel solutions for industrial problems inspired him to continue his postgraduate research leading to a PhD. Later, he continued his Postdoctoral research for nearly two years on breakthrough technologies for primary aluminium production funded by a CSIRO Cluster and Resources recovery from E-Waste funded by Outotec Pty. Ltd. Espoo, Finland. He attended many international conferences as presenting author and session chair. He serves on the review panel of a number of international funding bodies and a number of world-renowned scientific journals. He is a member of the Australasian Association of Engineering Education (AAEE).

Currently, He is leading the life cycle engineering and circular economy research group at Macquarie University. To date, he supervised 10 PhD completions as a Principal Supervisor and mentored 3 post-doctoral fellows on various projects.
