I had the unique experience and career as a Professor of Chemistry in the prestigious Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. I have supervised 4 Ph.D. students, 30 M. Phil and 5 M.Sc. students. I have published 50 Publications in accredited national and international journals. I have been involved in international organizations such as – in Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS) as Secretary General, in International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as National Representative and International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) as Head Mentor and scientific observer. I was also General Secretary and Treasurer of Bangladesh Chemical Society (BCS), Convener of Bangladesh Chemistry Olympiad and Organizing Secretary of Asian Chemical Congress (16 ACC). I am acting as a Chairman of Chemical Divisional Committee in Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institute (BSTI) and I was also member and Vice Chairman of BSTI from 2010 to 2018 . As a result, I am confident in my leadership, administrative capacities, organizing skill and as well as strong teaching and research credentials.
