Nahidur Rahman joined as a Lecturer in the Department of Food Processing and Engineering, CVASU since November 2023. He obtained his B.Sc. (Hons.) in Food Science and Technology degree in 2019 followed by MS in Food Processing and Engineering degree in 2022 from the same university. He also received extensive training on Research Methodology in Food Science from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Malaysia and worked there as a short term scholar.
Prior to joining, Nahidur Rahman served as a trainee consultant (nutriepigenomics) at the Institute of Nutrigenetics (ION), India where he was assigned to study how nutrients or diets affect the epigenome, genetic/DNA testing, as well as gene expression profile associated with nutritional interventions of certain diseases including cancer, type-2-diabetes, heart failure and inflammation. Later, he served in the Food and Nutrition Department, Chittagong Diabetic General Hospital as a technical advisor on recognizing appropriate behavioral-change modifications and dietary approaches for different ages and populations. He also worked as a Research Assistant at the Department of Food Processing and Engineering (CVASU) and the Brac James P Grant School of Public Health and simultaneously participated in developing research projects, experimental setup, travelling to field sites to collect and record data and/or samples according to the specific objectives.
Nahidur Rahman has a strong academic and research background, with multiple globally recognized scientific articles and book chapters published by world’s leading publishers i.e. Springer Nature, BMC, Taylor & Francis Group. He has received multiple scholarships and awards, including the prestigious Prime Minister Gold Medal Award, UGC merit scholarship, Dean's Award, National Science & Technology Fellowship, International Fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation, Recognition of Food Safety Prefect from Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) and FSSAI. As being very young for his profession, he possesses deep interest and pleasure in imparting knowledge, collaborative research work and would welcome any further opportunities to contribute.
