Dr Julfikar Haider is currently working as a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the Department of Engineering, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
He received his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 1999. After graduation, he worked as an assistant engineer in Rural Electrification Board, Bangladesh. In 2005, he was awarded PhD from the school of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Dublin City University, Ireland in the area of surface engineering. During PhD and subsequent post-doctoral programme, he has gained knowledge on advanced thin film coating deposition, coating characterisation, coating’s performance evaluation, advanced surface hardening technique (i.e. plasma nitriding), finite element modelling etc.
Between 2006 to 2012, Dr Haider worked as a Research Engineer at the School of Computing, Engineering & Information Sciences, Northumbria University, UK. There he was involved in a collaborative project with SNA Europe [UK] on improving manufacturing precision of bandsaws. He has applied scientific technique in production to enhance product quality, to increase productivity and to evaluate product and tool performances. He was also involved in product development, tool design, process specification etc.
Dr Haider’s main research interests are in composite materials, surface engineering, metal cutting machining, advance welding, manufacturing systems for Industry 4.0 (e.g., lean manufacturing, Six sigma, mass customisation) and finite element modelling. He has been awarded more than One million pound by Innovate UK to conduct Eight Knowledge Transfer Partnership projects with industry. To date he has supervised to completion four KTP associates (research associate). He was REF returnable in 2014 and preparing to contribute in REF2021 submission. He has published and presented over 80 technical papers in international journals and conferences and books in the above areas.
