Biography &
Academic Journey

Dr. Mohammad Shidujaman currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), School of Engineering, Technology and Sciences (SETS), Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB), Dhaka, Bangladesh. He holds a Ph.D. degree in Design from Tsinghua University (THU), Beijing, China.

Dr. Mohammad Shidujaman at Tsinghua University MiLab & Academic Research Stations

Before joining at Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB), he was an Assistant Professor at American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB). Mohammad Shidujaman holds a Ph.D. degree in Design from Tsinghua University (THU). His doctoral research emphasized developing expressive interaction design techniques for social robots that involve multidisciplinary research in Design for human-robot perceptual interconnection, conducted under the supervision of Professor Haipeng Mi at the Media and Interaction Laboratory (MiLab).

He has also worked as a Researcher at the Future Laboratory, Tsinghua University. In 2017, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Chinthaka Lab (Image Processing and Robotics Lab) at the Department of Electronic Engineering, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Toyosu Campus, Tokyo, Japan.

His research interests include Creativity and Innovation, Robotics and AI for Society, Human-Machine Interaction, AI Ethics and Policy, Social Robotics, Design Research, Cognitive Psychology, Cross-Cultural Design, User-Centered Design / Human-Centric Computing and Behavioral Analytics, Assistive Technology in Education, Healthcare and Entertainment, New Interaction Paradigms, and Anthropomorphism.

As a roboticist, he has no doubt that Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is transforming the modern technological paradigm. His research focuses on emotion-based Human-Robot Interaction in complex, unconstrained scenarios. Devices with autonomous mobility (robots) can be deployed for impactful real-world applications in home, healthcare, and office environments. His framework leverages emotional attachment to pioneer novel artistic and functional relationships with emerging autonomous technologies.

He is actively serving IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Activities (IEEE R10 HTA) and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics (IEEE RAS TC CR) as a committee member. He is also serving various robotics and design-related journals and conferences as an editorial board member, organizing committee member, workshop organizer, and peer reviewer.

Beyond academia, he possesses extensive industrial innovation experience, notably as an R&D Engineer at Autonomous Vehicle company iDriverplus, specializing in technological innovation and product development for intelligent driverless vehicular platforms, and previously as an IT Manager with Discovery Communications Ltd.

He is a Member of IEEE (#94108828), ACM (#0757008), IEB (#M33264), CIEHF, and a Life Fellow of the Bangladesh Electronics and Informatics Society (BEIS).
