I was born on 15th July 1976 in Chapai Nawabgonj district, Bangladesh. I obtained B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. degrees in Soil Science from Dhaka University (DU) securing First Class in both the cases. I received several prestigious awards from DU keeping the same trend in PhD studies (2007-2010) at Okayama University, Japan under Japanese Government Monbukagakusho scholarship.
During my PhD research I found slaking and drying is the most efficient and cost-effective method for clarifying of saline soil. To have a breakthrough in my current project, I needs to confirm that soil slaking is a salt releasing process and does not degrade the infiltration characteristics of soil by column test which simulates actual soil layer in the field. I also need to develop a simulation method to know, how much salt will dissolve to outer solution? how much will shift to exchange phase? how much will precipitate after drying the soil?
Currently, I am involved in extraction, purification and activity testing of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants of Bangladesh as well as soil Streptomyces spp. The purpose of searching bioactive compounds from medicinal plants and soil Streptomyces spp. is to develop new agrochemicals against crop pathogens and new antibiotics against multidrug resistance human pathogens.
I joined Bangladesh Open University (BOU) in March 2005 as a Lecturer in Soil Science. I have been doing job as a Professor since May 2018 at the School of Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD), BOU. Recently, I joined as a Dean of SARD of BOU. According to the act, 15(1), 1992, order of President and University Chancellor Mohammed Shahabuddin appointed me as new Treasurer of the same University on 7 November 2024 for the next four years.
I received extensive training on capacity building for Open and Distance Learning materials. I play a significant role in all activities of SARD providing education in distance and face to face modes. My field of interests include Problem soils and their sustainable uses, Ecosystems of salt affected soils and their management, Analytical Chemistry etc. I am engaged in different National and International project. I have published more than 40 research articles and 09 books in peer-reviewed National and International reputed Journals.
I have been actively participated in many international conferences and symposia and presented my research findings. I am an active member of many professional societies at home and abroad and serving as editor and reviewers of some international journals.
