Dr Md Asaduzzaman

Associate Professor

School of Digital, Technologies and Arts

I have been working in academia for about 20 years with a strong background in Operational Research and Statistics. I joined as a Lecturer in Statistics and Operational Research at Staffordshire University in 2014 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2017. In 2020, I was conferred as Associate Professor in Operational Research.

I am research-active; my research is motivated by real-world problems and falls under three themes: ‘Health & Wellbeing’, ‘Wireless Communication for the Future’ and ‘Environmental Sustainability and Resilience’. I have secured funding from the Innovate UK, European Erasmus Programme and local charities. I have been publishing articles in top operational research, statistics and engineering journals including European Journal of Operational Research, Annals of Operations Research, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Sustainable Cities and Society, Atmospheric Research, Natural Hazards, etc.

I am currently an Associate Editor of “IEEE Access” and an Academic Editor of “PLOS ONE”. I received several awards, including the first runner-up prize of “The Doctoral Award” in 2011 from the Operational Research Society UK, and the “Dean’s Honour Award” from the University of Dhaka in 2013 for my paper in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society.

I am the joint lead of the clinical and operational research stream of the University’s Research into Safety Network.

Enterprise and commercial interests

I worked previously and am currently working on several funded projects with the NHS. During 2007-10, I worked with five London hospitals: UCLH, Royal Free, Whittington, Barnet and Chase Farm hospital for neonatal bed capacity planning.

Currently, I am working on ‘Smart with Your Heart’ -heart testbed project at the University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM) – a £1.2m Innovated UK funded project. I have been also leading another project ‘Smart scheduling and patient-flow’ at the emergency department, University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM) for which we have been awarded the North Staffordshire Medical Institute Grant.
