Mehdi started their career at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where they worked as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Mechanical Science and Engineering Department. During this time, they designed and built a gold nanoparticle laser trapping system and performed experiments with microbeads and nanoparticles.

After that, Mehdi joined Thorlabs Inc. as a Photonics/Optics Product and Applications Engineer. The details of their role are not provided, but they worked with the company for five years.

Following their time at Thorlabs, Mehdi worked at Vytran LLC as an Optical Systems Design and Development Engineer. Their responsibilities included analysis and optical path development of CO2 IR lasers, construction and testing of LED-based illumination systems, and the development of live imaging systems.

Mehdi then joined TRUMPF North America as a Laser Diode Technology Development Engineer. In this role, they were responsible for the production of high-power diode laser modules in a cleanroom environment. Mehdi worked on lensing, testing, troubleshooting, and process planning and development. Mehdi also led continuous improvement and optimization projects.

Most recently, Mehdi joined Nubis Communications as a Research and Development Engineer (Optical Sub-assembly), although specific details about this role are not provided.

Mehdi Zaman completed their Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from BUET between 2004 and 2009. Following this, they pursued a Master of Science (MS) degree in Mechanical Science and Engineering, with a thesis on Photonics, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 2010 to 2012.

In terms of additional certifications, Mehdi Zaman obtained a Laser (UV-MIR) Safety Awareness Training from the Laser Institute of America in March 2018. Mehdi also completed the Optical Engineering Certificate Program at the University of California, Irvine Division of Continuing Education, though the specific year is unspecified.

Furthermore, Mehdi Zaman acquired several other certifications, including Optical System Design Using OpticStudio 15 (Zemax) from Zemax, LLC, SolidWorks 2013 Advanced Part Modeling from Dassault Systèmes, Statistical Process Control (SPC) from ASQ - World Headquarters, and an edX Verified Certificate for A Hands-on Introduction to Engineering Simulations from edX. The specific years of completion for these certifications are not provided.
