Personal Profile

Biography

Currently, I am serving as a full time faculty in a public university, Bangladesh, where I am teaching both graduate and undergraduate level courses in the area of plant morphology, plant anatomy, plant physiology, crop ecology, biotechnology, research methodology and agro-climatology related courses. I worked as a deputy sub-project manager with Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project (CP 6169); co-principal investigator with BAS-USDA-Program in Agricultural and Life Sciences project; and associate investigator of Science and Technology Research project of Ministry of Science and Technology. In the past, I received research grant from UGC, Bangladesh to conduct research on sustainable crop production. I have unique multidisciplinary research experiences, which includes Agronomic (crop production & cropping system), Watershed management (sustainable farming & land productivity), Nutritional (animal feeds and feeding) and Biotechnology (fertigation and agro-forestry) related research. I did collaborative research with international community during post-doc research at MU, Thailand and in NAF, Nepal as a part of DANIDA-AIT twinning program. Moreover, during postgraduate education, I coordinated a broad range of field visits in different leading overseas universities (NAIST, Japan; NUS, Singapore; TU, BCKV, India; Nepal; CU, Hong Kong). I also have experiences in guiding graduate students in their research (supervisor: 05; co-supervisor: 25). In addition, I jointly organized WB-funded workshop for the Sri Lankan government delegates at AIT, Thailand. In addition, I have good command in computer (both hardware & software) and proficient in MS Office and various specialized research suites including SPSS, Minitab, SAS; Internet and Web design. I enjoy learning things from diverse cultural and social settings and utilize my knowledge and expertise for the benefit of mankind. My long-term career goal is to be a part of an active international academic or R & D community to contribute towards high-quality teaching and research in Agriculture.
