Profile Summary

Dr. Minhaz Uddin Ahmed is a Senior Assistant Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Biotechnology at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Materials Science from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) in 2008 under the supervision of Prof. Eiichi Tamiya and later worked as a JSPS post-doctoral fellow at Osaka University, Japan (2008-2009, with Prof. Eiichi Tamiya); DARPA post-doctoral research associate at Duke University, USA (2009-2010, with Prof. April S. Brown); and NSERC post-doctoral fellow at INRS-EMT, Canada (2010-2012, with Prof. M. Zourob). Dr. Ahmed is an alumnus of JAIST and a prestigious young participant/fellow of the 57th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting for Physiology and Medicine in Germany in 2007. In 2008, he was awarded with the prestigious Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) young scientist award to work in the Graduate School of Engineering of Osaka University. In 2009, he was awarded with the United States Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) post-doctoral fellowship to work at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. As a Principal Investigator of UBD Biosensors and Biotechnology Laboratory, his active research focuses on developing reliable and simple methodologies that could allow bioanalytical detection to be carried out for various applications, particularly regarding aspects of food safety, healthcare, and environmental protection, which deserve public awareness. Currently, Dr. Ahmed also serving as an Associate Editor of the journal “RSC Advances” published by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), UK.
