Dr. Mazumdar received his B.Sc. with a First Class Honours and M.Sc.in Applied Mathematics with a First Class and First Rank (usually called First Class First) from Patna University, India. He received his Ph.D. degree in Solid Mechanics from Moscow State University, Russia. After completing his Ph.D., he came to South Australia in October 1966 on an appointment initially as a Lecturer, then a Senior Lecturer and subsequently a Reader in Applied Mathematics at the University of Adelaide. In 1968, he was conferred an honorary Ph.D. degree (ad eundem gradum) by the University of Adelaide, and the title of Associate Professor was conferred on him. Subsequently appointed as an Adjunct Professor jointly with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Discipline of Applied Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences. Also, appointed an Adjunct Professor within the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes Campus and, in the School of Engineering and Industrial Science, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.

Professor Mazumdar was appointed a Member of the ORDER OF AUSTRALIA (AM) in the Australia Day 2012 Honours.

In the year 1972, Professor Mazumdar was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Mechanics of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and in the Department of Metallurgy, Mechanics and Materials Science of the Michigan State University, East Lansing. He again spent another year of sabbatical  in 1977 as a Visiting Professor in the same department of the Michigan State University. Professor Mazumdar also spent four months from February through May, 1982 in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Medical School of McMaster University, Hamilton as a recipient of the International Science Exchange Award of Canada. During 1987-1988, Professor Mazumdar was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India and, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Waterloo University, Canada .In 1993, Professor Mazumdar was a Visiting Professor of Mathematics at IIT Delhi and in 1998-99, was a Visiting Professor in the School of Mechanical and Production Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Dr. Mazumdar's principal research interests are in the fields of Biomechanics, Biomedical Engineering and Solid Mechanics. He has done some interesting work on non-invasive study of heart valves tissue pathology by spectral analysis of heart sounds as well as by two-dimensional sector-scan echocardiography. He has also done some study on vibrations of tympanic membrane (ear drum) by time- averaged holography. He was also involved in research on spinal Biomechanics and Biofluid Mechanics. Professor Mazumdar is now working in the field of Tissue Engineering and NanoBioengineering. In particular, he is involved with research on Tissue Engineering on Cartilage. In this project, he is particularly interested in articular cartilage. Articular cartilage is a living tissue but very limited capacity to repair itself. Instead, any damage to the articular surface tends to spread allowing the bones to rub directly against each other and resulting in increasing joint pain and loss of joint movement. It can also lead to osteoarthritis (a slow degeneration of articular cartilage). It is the most common form of arthritis in Australia, about 10% of the total population. In United States alone, more than 1 million people per year suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease caused by damaged articular cartilage.

 The details of his research interests in Solid Mechanics and Biomechanics are listed on the next pages.

Professor  Mazumdar has written two seminal books entitled "An Introduction to Mathematical Physiology and Biology", by Cambridge University Press, U.K. First edition 1989, Second edition 1999, and "Biofluid Mechanics", by World Scientific Publishing Co., 1992. He has contributed chapters in four books on biomechanics entitled "Applied Physiological Mechanics", Harwood Publ., New York, 1980, "Advances in Cardiovascular Physics", S. Karger Publ., Switzerland, 1979, "Mathematical Methods in Medicine", Handbook of Applicable Mathematics, John Wiley, 1984, and "Handbook of Computational Methods in Biomaterials, Biotechnology and Biomedical Systems", Kluwer Academic, 2002. In addition, he has authored and coauthored over 200 research papers dealing primarily with biomechanics, biomedical engineering and solid mechanics in refereed journals and conference proceedings.

Professor Mazumdar has more than 45 years of University teaching experience. He has taught graduate level courses in continuum mechanics, theory of plasticity, theory of viscoelasticity, theory of vibrations, plates and shells, calculus of variations and its application to mechanics, mathematical biology, signal processing in biomedical engineering. Some of these courses were offered by him at the Michigan State University, East Lansing, University of Waterloo, Canada and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Professor Mazumdar has directed 23 Ph.D. theses, and 16 research projects for the degree of Honours in Applied Mathematics. Presently he is supervising a few more Ph.D. students.

Professor Mazumdar was twice Chairman of the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine of the  South Australia Chapter. He  was  Director of the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, University of Adelaide. He is now Emeritus Director of the Centre.  He acted as a Co-Chairman at the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Symposium on Theory and Applications of Digital Control, held in New Delhi, January 1982. He was also a session Co-Chairman at the Sixth International Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Singapore, 1990. He was elected Chairman of the National Conference on Engineering Mathematics and Applications (EMAC'98).

On extracurricular activities, Professor Mazumdar was President of the Indian Australian Association of South Australia in its formative years in late sixtees, for which he played a key role for its formation. He was also President of the Hindu Society of South Australia . The Hindu society is a religio-cultural body catering for the needs of approximately two thousand Hindus living in South Australia. During 1989-1990 Professor Mazumdar was a member of South Australian Government’s office of Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs in Education Sub Committee. He was also a member of Equal Opportunity Board of Adelaide University during 1991- 1992. Professor Mazumdar was instrumental in establishing an MOU between Adelaide University and Osmania University in Hyderabad, India. He is now trying to set up a Center for NanoBioengineering in a newly established IIT, in India.

Dr Mazumdar is a recipient of a number of National and International Awards. Together with many other prestigious bodies, Dr. Mazumdar has been a member of the American Academy of Mechanics since 1972 and a member of New York Academy of Science, U.S.A. He is an elected Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (FIEAust.), which is now called Engineers Australia. He is also a long time Fellow of the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (FACPSEM) and a Fellow of the Australian Mathematical Society (FAustMS). He has been cited in the Who's Who of the World, 7th Edition onwards, in India's Who's Who (INFA Publications, 1985 onwards), and in Men of Achievement, International Biography Centre, Cambridge, England as well as in Australian Men and Women of Science, Engineering and Technology.
