Biography: M.A.H. Mithu is a Professor of Manufacturing Engineering in the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet, Bangladesh. He received his MEngg in Manufacturing Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh in 2006, and PhD from the Department of Mechanical, Nuclear and Production Engineering (DIMNP), University of Pisa, Italy. At present, his research is focused on design, development and fabrication of micromachining workcell, design and fabrication of microtools and its applications in practical fields. During his academic carrier, he has published numerous international journals and conference papers.

Active Research Project Develop and implement a finite element model for the numerical solution of bio-heat equation with applications on human tissue, Department of Industrial and Production Engineering Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh This research work has been funded by The Research Center of SUST and Bangladesh Higher Education Commission through Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet, Bangladesh. This research has developed a numerical method called finite element technique to solve one dimensional bio-heat transfer problems considering the human tissue. A computer code using “C” language has been developed to have the temperature distribution through the human tissue and several problems have been analyzed using the developed code. This code can be used by the researchers who are interested to have the temperature distribution in human tissue. Research students from Industrial & Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Bio-medical Engineering branches can use this code to study the finite element method. It is expected that the results found might be helpful in the cancer treatment (e.g. cancer thermal therapy).
