Overview

Dr M Mamun Huda is a Research Fellow in Poche Centre for Indigenous Health and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course (LCC), The University of Queensland (UQ). Dr Huda is a quantitative health researcher with strong analytical expertise in public health sciences. He has expertise in large-scale data management, administrative data linkage, integrated data analytics, data visualization in health research, and in program evaluation. He had more than a decade’s professional experience in public health research. His primary research focuses on adolescent health epidemiology in Australia and globally.

Dr Huda completed his PhD from UQ in 2022. In his doctoral research, Dr Huda utilized a large number of national health survey data (~ 4 million participants in 258 surveys) from 74 countries worldwide to understand the global burden, disparity, determinants, and consequences of teenage motherhood and formulated important data-driven policy recommendations. His doctoral research has been published in leading international academic journals, including The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health, and received media coverage.

Currently Dr Huda is involved in the project entitled “Exposure to Trihalomethanes in pregnancy and birth outcomes in Queensland: integrated data analysis and case studies for better policy and health outcomes”. The overarching aim of this project is to assist the project partners in implementing evidence-based changes for THMs risk management, incident resolution, and minimising THMs exposure in pregnant women in Queensland, particularly those residing in high-risk areas.

Before coming to Australia, Dr Huda worked as an Associate Scientist in icddr,b, an international health research organisation based in Dhaka, Bangladesh (www.icddrb.org). At icddr,b, he was involved in implementation research (community-based intervention trial) sponsored by the World Health Organization (TDR/WHO) and worked with governments and international research organisations to support the visceral leishmaniasis elimination program in the Indian subcontinent. During this time, as principal investigator, he has received grants to support research that he independently conceptualised. His research has impacted national health policy and resulted in scientific publications in peer-reviewed, internationally recognised journals.
