Md. Abu Darda

Lecturer, BUFT



About

Mr. Md. Abu Darda is currently serving as a Lecturer in the Department of Knitwear Engineering at BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology (BUFT). He completed his Master of Science in Textile Engineering from Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology, Gazipur. His research focused on the mechanical, thermal, and thermo-mechanical properties of natural fiber-reinforced composites.
He earned his Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering, majoring in Apparel Manufacturing Engineering, from the same institute in 2022. He graduated with a remarkable CGPA of 3.93, securing the 1st position both in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Textile Engineering. In recognition of his outstanding academic excellence, he has been nominated for the Prime Minister Gold Medal and the President Gold Medal, and has received the Dean Award four times. His undergraduate thesis was also based on textile composites.
The current research interests include textile composites, smart textiles, electrospinning, and material science. He is dedicated to advancing research and innovation in the field of textile engineering and contributing to the development of next-generation textile materials.
