He later earned a second MS degree and a Master of Environment degree with distinction from University of Manitoba, achieving a perfect CGPA of 4.0/4.0 and receiving the Best Thesis Award. He obtained his Ph.D. from Jahangirnagar University with specialization in GIS and Remote Sensing applications in Hazard Risk Vulnerability Assessment.
Dr. Mahmud began his professional career as a GIS and Remote Sensing Analyst at Prakaushali Sangsad Ltd., Bangladesh, before joining academia. He served as a Lecturer at Mawlana Bhasani Science and Technology University and joined Jahangirnagar University in 2009. He also worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Manitoba, Canada, from 2013 to 2015.
An accomplished researcher and cartographer, Dr. Mahmud has published more than 150 national and international research papers. He played significant roles in the Banglapedia Cartographic Team and the National Atlas of Bangladesh project, and authored widely used academic books, including Introductory GIS and A Text Book of GIS and Remote Sensing. His research and consultancy expertise have been sought by international organizations such as United Nations Development Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, World Bank, United States Agency for International Development, and CARE International.
Dr. Mahmud has received numerous prestigious awards and scholarships, including the Abu Jafar Shamsuddin and Ayesha Akhter Khatun Memorial Trust Award (2024), the Research Affiliate Program Award from Natural Resources Canada, and several graduate excellence awards from the University of Manitoba.
