Professor & Chairman,
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Prof. Dr. Shahid Md. Asif Iqbal is the Chairman of the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Premier University, Chattogram, Bangladesh, where he leads academic initiatives, research development, and curriculum innovation. With over 17 years of experience in higher education and ICT, he is a dynamic academic leader and technology educator, deeply involved in both local and international academic collaborations.
He currently serves as the Director of the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at Premier University, steering efforts toward continuous improvement in education quality and institutional excellence. Dr. Iqbal is also a faculty member in the Diploma in IT Program offered under the Transnational Education (TNE) partnership between UTS College Australia and Premier University. Since 2021, he has held the role of Head of IT at Premier University and has been an active educator in the AWS Academy.
In addition to his academic roles, Dr. Iqbal serves as Associate Editor of Premier Critical Perspective, the university’s academic journal. His longstanding relationship with Cisco Networking is evident through his role as an Instructor at the Premier University Cisco Local Academy since 2007 and his earlier service as Legal Main Contact and In-charge of the IT Institute (2012–2018).
Dr. Iqbal has also played a key role in quality assurance, acting as Head of the Self-Assessment Committee (SAC) for the Department of CSE from 2016 to 2018, and again since December 2022. He formerly held the post of Vice-Chairman of the Bangladesh Computer Society, Chattogram Division (2017–2018), contributing to national ICT development.
He is an active reviewer for top-ranked international journals including Elsevier’s Future Generation Computer Systems and IEEE Access. Dr. Iqbal earned his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) in 2022, following an M.Sc. from BUET and a B.Sc. from CUET.
Combining visionary leadership, strong academic foundation, and global outlook, Prof. Dr. Shahid Md. Asif Iqbal continues to inspire progress in computer science education and research.
