Md Rezanur Rahaman

Md Rezanur Rahaman is a Senior Lecturer at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health (NCEPH) at the Australian National University, specializing in infectious disease epidemiology with a focus on One Health approaches. His work bridges human, animal, and environmental health domains, particularly in the context of zoonotic diseases and climate change impacts on population health.

Educational Background:

• PhD in One Health Approach to Zoonoses | Infectious Disease Epidemiology | Environmental Epidemiology from University of Adelaide (2017-2021)
• Master of International Public Health | Health Management from University of New South Wales (2010-2011)
• Master of Infectious Disease Epidemiology | Outbreak Preparedness and Response from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015-2017)
• MBBS in Medicine | Surgery | Obstetrics from University of Dhaka (2000-2005)

Rahaman's research spans infectious disease epidemiology, environmental health, and climate change impacts, with particular expertise in Q fever, zoonotic diseases, and childhood diarrhea in South Asian contexts. His work increasingly integrates climate variability factors with traditional epidemiological approaches, examining how environmental changes influence disease patterns.

His publication record shows a clear trajectory from focused studies on Q fever (2019-2022) toward broader climate-health connections (2023-2024), reflecting an evolving research program that addresses emerging global health challenges. Recent work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration across public health, veterinary medicine, and climate science domains.

Rahaman actively supervises graduate students, including PhD candidates investigating "A One Health approach to sources and transmission of zoonotic enteric pathogens" and "Strengthening Australia's applied epidemiology workforce to manage biosecurity threats." His teaching responsibilities include convening coursework subjects and developing curriculum in epidemiology at NCEPH.

As an active researcher, Rahaman leads and participates in significant projects including the Timor-Leste One Health Bacteria Enteropathy and Nutrition (BEN) Study (2023-2027) and the TA-9950 REG: Capacity Building Firm project (2022-2025), demonstrating his commitment to addressing health challenges in the Asia-Pacific region through collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches.
