Sujan Debnath

“Hi, I’m Associate Professor Sujan Debnath of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering and Science, here at Curtin Malaysia, which I joined in 2008.

I am proud to be a part of Curtin, a global university recognised for its high-impact research, strong industry partnerships, and commitment to preparing students for future careers. I recall I was simply overjoyed when I was offered the opportunity to work with the university.

There is nothing I love more than teaching. Since childhood, I have had a passion for teaching and dreamed of passing on my knowledge to a global student community, and contributing to society through my teaching. Curtin has given me the opportunity to fulfil my dream. After decades of teaching, there is nothing more rewarding than nurturing students and watching them progress from engineering students to professional engineers.

I am also an active researcher. Research was not one of my strengths when I first joined Curtin, but I worked hard developing a research career. It has been a very satisfying journey, thanks in large part to the support of the university management and my colleagues. My most satisfying achievements were being recognised by the university for research excellence in 2022, and being made a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK (SFHEA) for my contributions to research.” – Sujan Debnath, Mechanical Engineering lecturer
