Short Biography


  • I am currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Gopalganj Science and Technology University (GSTU), Gopalganj. My academic foundation was built at Shahjalal University of Science & Technology (SUST), Bangladesh, where I completed both my B.Sc. in Chemistry in 2010 and my M.Sc. in Chemistry in 2012. I later earned my Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the Faculty of Engineering at Okayama University, Japan, in 2025, specializing in visible-light-responsive nanocarbon catalysts for radical-mediated organic transformations.

    I have over ten years of full-time teaching and academic experience as a faculty member at GSTU. Beyond teaching, I have contributed to administrative and campus governance roles, serving as Assistant Proctor (February 2017–December 2017) and Assistant Provost of Sheikh Rehana Hall (December 2017–December 2020).

    My technical expertise encompasses advanced characterization techniques such as XRD, SEM, ESR, XPS, FTIR, UV-Vis, GC, HPLC, Cyclic Voltammetry, and TGA/DSC. I also completed specialized professional training in Chemical Analysis & Quality Control at the Training Institute for Chemical Industries (TICI).

    To date, I have authored 10 peer-reviewed journal publications and presented 5 research papers at international and national conferences. My primary research interests lie in nanocarbon-based photocatalysis, radical chemistry, photocatalytic organic transformations, microwave-assisted synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, and materials chemistry.
