Dr. Mohammad Harun-Ur-Rashid serves as the esteemed Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry within the College of Arts and Sciences at IUBAT—International University of Business Agriculture and Technology.

A native of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Dr. Harun-Ur-Rashid's academic journey began at the Dhaka Residential Model College. He further honed his expertise at the University of Dhaka, where he completed both his BS (with honors) and MS in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology by 2006. Fueled by a passion for research and a commitment to academic excellence, Dr. Harun-Ur-Rashid was awarded the prestigious Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. Funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT), this scholarship enabled him to pursue and complete his Doctor of Engineering (D. Engg.) by March 2010. His research was conducted at the Molecular Assembly and System Lab under the Department of Molecular Design and Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, Japan. Post his doctoral achievement, Dr. Harun-Ur-Rashid's research excellence led to two consecutive postdoctoral fellowships at Nagoya University. His initial appointment, from April 2010 to March 2011, was with the Department of Molecular Design and Engineering. This was followed by a second tenure, from September 2018 to August 2019, at the Department of Molecular and Macromolecular Chemistry.
