Professional Summary_______________________________________________________

I’m a hardworking lifelong learner and my devotion goes to teaching and research on photosynthesis, protected agriculture, and sustainable crop production. My recent works explore the suitability of using chitin nanofiber (CNF) as a supplement for nitrogen fertilizers for tomato and rice production and postharvest mango preservation. I served as a supervisor at undergraduate and graduate levels and completed five projects funded by the governments of Bangladesh, Japan, and the USA (USDA).  I’m also serving as an editorial board member of two peer-reviewed journals published in Bangladesh. More information links:

Professional Summary_______________________________________________________

I’m a hardworking lifelong learner and my devotion goes to teaching and research on photosynthesis, protected agriculture, and sustainable crop production. My recent works explore the suitability of using chitin nanofiber (CNF) as a supplement for nitrogen fertilizers for tomato and rice production and postharvest mango preservation. I served as a supervisor at undergraduate and graduate levels and completed five projects funded by the governments of Bangladesh, Japan, and the USA (USDA).  I’m also serving as an editorial board member of two peer-reviewed journals published in Bangladesh.
