Nazmul Haque received his bachelor's degree in naval architecture and marine engineering in 2017 from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, his master's degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Oklahoma State University, and currently is a PhD candidate in materials engineering at Purdue, expected to graduate in December 2025. The focus of his research is stress visualization in fiber-reinforced polymer composites using mechanophore-based techniques with applications in structural health monitoring in aerospace and mechanical systems. For the American Physical Society (APS), he has presented his work at the March Meeting three times, and he was selected to present at the Peebles Award Session at both the Adhesion Society and within the Division of Polymer Physics at the APS Global Summit. His future research program will center around developing hierarchical polymer composites through precision additive manufacturing for possible use in turbine blades, deep-sea equipment, the automotive industry, and renewable energy. At Purdue, Haque has served as president of the MSE Graduate Student Association, mentored students through the Purdue Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship and MSE undergraduate research experience, and launched a summer mentoring circle program for graduate students and postdocs. Additionally, as president of the Engineering Academic Career Club, he secured $4,000+ in funding to host seminars and career development events. As a professor, he aims to create a Composite Innovators Network to connect students and mentors from industries like 3M and Medtronic for projects and internships.
