Dr. Din Bandhu is an Associate Research Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Saudi Arabia. He holds a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (GPREC, Kurnool), an M.Tech in Tool Engineering (RVCE, Bangalore), and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (IITRAM, Ahmedabad). He is also pursuing an MBA in Systems & Operations Management from Jain (Deemed-to-be-University), Bengaluru. With over 12 years of experience at premier Indian institutions (IIITDM Kurnool, MAHE Bengaluru Campus, Galgotias University), he has strong expertise in teaching, research, and administration.

He is passionate about teaching courses such as Materials Science, Automation in Manufacturing, Operations Management, and Engineering Economics. He holds over 30 certifications in traditional and emerging areas, including Principles of Management and Operations & Supply Chain Management. His student-centric pedagogy embraces flipped classrooms, inquiry-based learning, and project-based learning.

He has published over 101 peer-reviewed articles in reputed international journals, authored two books, and holds two Indian patents. One of his articles, “Theories of motivation: A comprehensive analysis of human behavior drivers” in Acta Psychologica, is a top-cited and most-downloaded paper in that journal. He has been ranked among the World's Top 2% of Scientists (Elsevier/Stanford, 2025) and the World's Top 5% of Scientists (SciRank Global, 2026). He serves as guest editor, managing editor, or editorial board member for more than ten international journals, including Scientific Reports, Discover Applied Sciences, PLOS One, JMBM (De Gruyter), and Surface Review and Letters. He currently supervises three Ph.D. scholars at Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India.
