Nifat Mouddit Nizhum is a research-oriented Mechanical Engineer and Educator currently serving as a Lecturer in the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at the World University of Bangladesh (WUB). He holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering from the Islamic University of Technology (IUT). His academic and research career is defined by a specialized focus on Energy and Hydraulic Systems Optimization with Data-Driven Control methodologies.

His research primarily centers on enhancing the efficiency of thermodynamic and fluid systems. His notable empirical work includes developing predictive control frameworks for novel Hydraulic Ram Pumps to balance operational efficiency and cost, alongside extensive exergoeconomic analyses of supercritical and transcritical CO2 cogeneration cycles. His innovative research contributions are reflected in his publications and peer-reviewed submissions to high-impact Elsevier journals, including Flow Measurement and Instrumentation and others.

Beyond his focus on sustainable energy systems, he possesses extensive, hands-on engineering experience in the field of robotics. He notably served as the Mechanical Team Lead for "Project Altair," where he spearheaded the mechanical subsystem development, system integration, and computational simulations (FEA) for a Mars Rover prototype designed for unstructured terrain. His technical leadership was instrumental in his cross-functional team winning the prestigious "Scientist of the Future" award at the International Rover Challenge (IRC 2024) in Coimbatore, India.

In his current academic role at WUB, he is deeply committed to fostering a collaborative academic environment, mentoring students in thermofluids and electro-mechanical systems research.
