Personal profile

Biography

Dr Nur Al Hasan Haldar is a Lecturer in the School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing at The University of Western Australia. His research focuses on intelligent data systems, spanning data science, graph-driven analytics, machine learning, cybersecurity, and knowledge-centric AI. He works at the intersection of large-scale data management and intelligent decision-making, with a particular interest in how graph structures, hyperparameter optimisation, and trustworthy AI can improve the performance and reliability of real-world computational systems.

Before joining UWA, Dr Haldar was a Lecturer at Curtin University, where he taught and coordinated units across computer science, software engineering, and cybersecurity. He also contributed to multiple industry-aligned research projects in areas such as smart infrastructure optimisation, digital agriculture, critical mineral processing, and AI-enhanced education. During his time at Curtin, he supervised Honours, Master's, and PhD students and helped lead several interdisciplinary initiatives bridging data science, DevOps, and intelligent automation.

He previously held roles as a Research Fellow and Associate Lecturer at UWA, a Researcher at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia, and a Senior Software Engineer at Mahindra Comviva Technologies in India. Dr Haldar’s research training was supported by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency. During his PhD, he worked as a Postgraduate Researcher at CSIRO Data61 from 2018 to 2021, contributing to fundamental and applied research in data-driven intelligent systems.

Dr Haldar is committed to strengthening collaborations between academia, industry, and government. He has contributed to several multi-institutional and applied research projects. His broader interests include trustworthy large language models, secure software pipelines, personalised AI-driven learning systems, and intelligent workload optimisation for smart compute environments.

He welcomes opportunities for supervision, industry partnership, and cross-disciplinary projects.
