Department of Botany

Short Biography

• I am currently serving as a Faculty Member and Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at Gopalganj Science and Technology University (GSTU), Gopalganj. My academic foundation was built at the University of Dhaka, where I completed my B.S. (Honours) in Botany in 2016 with a CGPA of 3.97 out of 4.00, earning the prestigious Dean’s Award. Following this, I completed my Master's Degree (Thesis) in 2017 from the same department, achieving a perfect GPA of 4.00 out of 4.00, and received the National Science and Technology (NST) fellowship.
  I began my professional research career as a Research Fellow (July 2018–July 2019) at the Plant Breeding and Biotechnology Laboratory at the University of Dhaka, where I worked on developing a salt-tolerant rice variety utilizing Oryza coarctata through wide hybridization. I subsequently joined GSTU as a Contractual Lecturer in July 2019 and transitioned to my current permanent faculty role in June 2022, where I teach undergraduate and graduate courses including Plant Breeding, Biostatistics, Genetics, Microbiology, Plant Ecology, and Plant Physiology.
  My technical expertise encompasses CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, DNA-based molecular analysis, cytogenetical analysis, and statistical data analysis. I also possess strong skills in curriculum development, academic writing, and conference presentations, alongside multilingual proficiency in Bengali (Native), English (C1), Hindi (Intermediate), and Japanese (N5 Basic).
  To date, I have authored 4 peer-reviewed journal articles in recognized publications such as Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution and the Bangladesh Journal of Botany. My core research interests and active projects span ethnobotany, plant genetics, abiotic stress tolerance, hydrophytic flora diversity, hydroponics (such as Chia microgreens cultivation), and the green synthesis of nanoparticles, supported by multiple ongoing and completed grants from the GSTU Research Cell.
