Professor Mujtaba obtained his BSc in 1983 and MSc in 1984 all in Chemical Engineering. He studied at Imperial College, London with the prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship and received his PhD and DIC in 1989. He worked as a Lecturer and Assistant Professor in Chemical Engineering at BUET (1984-1990) and as Research Fellow at the Centre for Process Systems Engineering, Imperial College, London from 1990-1994. He joined University of Bradford as a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering in 1995.
研究领域
Professor Mujtaba is actively involved in many research areas like: dynamic modelling, simulation, optimisation and control of batch and continuous chemical processes with specific interests in distillation, industrial reactors, refinery processes and desalination. His current research focus is in the area of energy and water (two of the four key challenge areas for future chemical engineers as identified by IChemE). He was recently successful in attracting funding from the British Council, Texas A&M University, Royal Society and DST (India) to organise a UK-Qatar workshop on 'Water & Energy Security' in Qatar (2015), UK-India workshop on 'Food, Water & Energy Nexus' in India (2015) and UK-Egypt-South Africa workshop on 'Water Management' in South Africa (2016). Professor Mujtaba has managed several research collaborations and consultancy projects with industry and academic institutions in the UK, Italy, Hungary, Malaysia, Iraq, China, Libya, Qatar, India, Bahrain, Algeria, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. He has published 229 technical papers in major Engineering Journals, International Conference Proceedings and Books and has supervised 24 PhD students since 1997 and is currently supervising 8 PhD and 1 MPhil projects. He has given over 60 invited lectures home and abroad and several keynotes in international conferences.
Professor Mujtaba is a co-editor of the book 'Application of Neural Networks and Other Learning Technologies in Process Engineering' published by the Imperial College Press, London in 2001(http://www.icpress.co.uk/books/compsci/p225.html). He is also a co-editor of the book 'Composite Materials Technology' published by CRC Press, in 2009. Professor Mujtaba is the author of 'Batch Distillation: Design & Operation' published by the Imperial College Press, London in 2004 (http://www.icpress.co.uk/books/engineering/p319.html) which included his 18 years of research in batch distillation. He has several ongoing research collaborations and consultations with industries and academic institutions in the UK, Italy, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Thailand.
