Tamim-ul-Hasan is a PhD Research Fellow in the Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), and serves as a Research Associate under the UKRI Ayrton Challenge–funded project “SMART-SIP+: Innovative Approach to Downstream Energy Utilisation from Solar Irrigation Pumps in Bangladesh.” His research focuses on the techno-economic and life-cycle assessment of solar irrigation pump-based smart energy systems, integrating digital tools and data-driven frameworks to enable sustainable energy use in agriculture. Before starting the PhD program, he worked for nearly four years in the private sector at Aadi Enterprise Ltd., progressing from Agricultural Engineer to Assistant Manager, where he was engaged in agricultural machinery import, installation, maintenance, training, and field-level adaptation for local farming systems. He also served as a Trainer under the “Farm Mechanization Through Integrated Management Project” of the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), Ministry of Agriculture, conducting multiple residential rural mechanic training programs. Tamim has completed his M.S. in Farm Power and Machinery at BAU with an NST Fellowship, focusing on digital image processing for plant disease detection. He also worked as a Research Assistant at the Bangladesh Agricultural University Research System (BAURES) for over two years on the project “Machine Vision Technique for Identification and Classification of Plant Diseases.” During his B.Sc. studies, he developed an automated evaporative cooling system for tomato storage to prevent post-harvest losses during seasonal surplus. His broader research interests include renewable energy systems, precision agriculture, digital twins, and IoT-integrated smart mechanization technologies for sustainable agricultural development.
