ABD stands for "All But Dissertation." It means the individual has completed all of the course work and testing for their PhD, but have not completed and defended their dissertation. Technically they shouldn't be referring to themselves as a PhD at all, but there are certain educational communities where it is considered acceptable.

What does Ph.D ABD mean?

It means that all requirements except for the dissertation have been completed. ABD = All But Dissertation. This is an informal expression, and does not convey any official qualifications. In general, students still actively engaged in a PhD program who have passed all their qualifying exams are referred to as doctoral candidates. Thus, this expression is mostly used by people who are no longer actively engaged in their program. A dissertation is the essential component of a PhD, and those who do not complete one are generally competent at the masters level in their field.
