Md Nur Hossain was born in Chittagong, Bangladesh, in 1979. He received the B.Sc. degree in Mechanical engineering with a distinction of 1st Class Second Position from Khulna University of
Engineering & Technology, Bangladesh, in 2003. In the same year, he joined as ‘Process Engineer/ Technical Support Executive’ in a Steel Processing Plant of Abul Khair Group, Chittagong, Bangladesh. In 2004. Mr. Hossain joined in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, as a Lecturer, and in 2007 became Assistant Professor.
He completed his M.A.Sc in Civil Engineering in 2010 from Dalhousie University, Canada. His research during M.A.Sc was an automotive research and development program focusing on issues
relating to the automobile in the 21st century (an Auto 21 research project), which covered ‘Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics of Materials’ and ‘Finite Element Analysis. In 2011, he started his PhD at
Dalhousie University in the Department of Process Engineering & Applied Science in a NSERC Strategic Research Project on “An Inherently Safer Approach to Dust Explosion Risk Reduction”
focusing ‘Risk Assessment’ & ‘Risk Control’.
