Newcastle University

Background

Dr Abdul Shakoor Chaudhry has conducted research, teaching and engagement at universities of Newcastle, Queensland, Bristol, Cambridge and Faisalabad. He has initiated, managed and completed numerous research and training projects. These projects were funded by different Feed and Biotechnology companies, National & International Governments, Charitable trusts, Research Bodies, World (Asian) and Islamic Development Banks and Universities etc. His research has mainly focussed on the role of foods in either sustaining or improving animal performance in various situations. Dr Chaudhry was able to develop non-invasive Bio-Molecular methods to test the quality of animal foods in supplying essential nutrients to various animals at different stages of their growth and development. Dietary manipulation to reduce pollution from farm animals has also been a vital area of his research. He has coordinated 2 International training programmes in Australia (1996-98) and 3 Higher Education Links here at Newcastle (2002-5 & 2007-10). Recently, his research with 'spices to modify methane' has received a huge media attention. His invited interviews with CNN's Connect the World, BBC Look North, many BBC radios, Newzealand radio and many print and electronic papers are a few examples of the impact of his research. Search INTERNET for 'sheep and spices' to view 100's of news items as a reflection of the societal & sustainable relevance of his research for the UK and worldwide.

Roles and Responsibilities

Dr Chaudhry is a Member of both the Board of Studies and the Board of Examiners of some undergraduate degree programmes at AFRD. He is also a Postgraduate selector and a Member of Postgraduate Strategy Committee at AFRD. He leads 3 undergraduate modules and contributes to the teaching of several other modules.  He  has been managing numerous sponsored research projects as a Principal Investigator or a Team Member. He is a Lead supervisor of numerous funded PhD & Postdoctoral research projects, a Personal Tutor for undergraduate students and Senior Tutor for AFRD taught MSc students.
