Dr S.M.Parvez Mahbub
PhD (2008-2011), Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia
Parvez completed his PhD in environmental engineering from Queensland University of Technology in 2011 and received post-doctoral training in analytical chemistry at Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science at University of Tasmania. His principal research aim is to develop low-cost and portable solutions using advanced analytical techniques and to incorporate such solutions within food, agriculture, defence and medical sciences areas.
His research interests include:
- Rapid screening of explosives
- Advanced oxidation processes for scalable production and point-of-care delivery of radicals
- continuous-flow reactor technology
- contaminant fate
- chemometrics
- UV-visible-infrared spectrophotometry for environmental hazard monitoring and early warning of hazardous gases
- water-quality engineering.
- Publications
- Media
- Grants
- Awards
- Research Activities
- Engagement
- Teaching and Supervision
In 2019, Parvez was awarded Enterprise Solution Centre Program (ESCP) grant of $200,000 by Food Innovation Australia Ltd. (FIAL) for a Project Titled: 鈥淧eroxide-based Sustainable Treatment Strategy for Salmonid Aquaculture鈥 as lead chief investigator.
In 2020, Parvez was awarded Higher Degree Research grant ($44,570) from Defence Science Institute (DSI) Australia for a project Titled: 鈥淩apid Screening of 91成人版抖音-made Explosives in Public Places Using Safe Light Sources鈥 as lead chief investigator
鈥 Award of the 鈥楤est Oral Presentation鈥 award in the 3rd International Conference on Challenges in Environmental Science and Engineering: CESE-2010, Cairns, Australia, September 26 鈥 October 1, 2010
鈥 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at University of Tasmania (2012-2014) awarded by Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
鈥 Innovative Tasmania Award 2015; Laboratory device prototype named 鈥楽CANTEX鈥 at UTAS for explosive detection comprised both inorganic and organic explosive detection components. My postdoctoral work resulted the organic explosive detection component of SCANTEX.
鈥 Student Voice Commendation Award 2019 at CQU Melbourne Campus (On-Campus Educators of the Year Category for Teaching 鈥楨nvironmental Sustainability鈥 to Postgraduate Students at CQU)
鈥 CSIRO ON-Prime performance bonus for rapid screening technology of explosives 2023 (Easy Screen P14-1561)
Parvez has completed the following projects as lead chief investigator at Victoria University in last 3 years before joining UNSW:
- Advanced Oxidation Techniques for Aquaculture Industry聽(Industry Partner: Huon Aquaculture Pty Ltd and Food Innovation Australia Ltd)
- Detection and Remediation of Organic Peroxide Explosives Using Advanced Light Sources (Defence Science Institute, Australia)聽
He also completed the following projects as research collaborator at University of Tasmania between 2016 and 2019:
- Radiometric analysis of LEDs and the use of rapidly pulsed infra-red LEDs for portable sensing of gases
- Advanced Miniaturised Electrochemical Detection for Flow-Based Analytical Systems
