Dr. Chowdhury is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Texas Tech University. He works on human-machine interaction, immersive technologies, operator fatigue and stress in the workplace, and healthcare and rehabilitation engineering. His research focuses on understanding the integrative roles of biomechanics, motor control, and cognitive brain function in accelerating the effective merging of the human body and machines, especially in the emerging physical amplification and rehabilitation technologies. His special focus is on investigating the multifaceted effects of fatigue (both physical and mental) on neuromuscular dynamics and visual performances in a complex human-machine system. The goals of his research are to discover new scientific knowledge, techniques, and approaches and then instantiate them in product and work design processes to improve human ability and performance. He has co-authored peer-reviewed articles for reputed journals, including Human Factors, Journal of Biomechanics, Safety Science, Ergonomics, and Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology.
