Dr. Khan is serving the Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University as a Professor (Grade 1) since 1st July 2018. Dr. Khan started his career in Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University since 18th of February 1997 as a lecturer and then gradually promoted to Assistant Professor (on 7th of May 2000) and Associate professor (on 18th of February 2004) before he promoted to the position of Professor (Grade 3) on 18th of February 2008. He teaches Horticulture and relevant courses in Undergraduate and graduate levels. As a part of his academic duties he supervises research projects of undergraduate and graduate students and also supervises different funded projects. Dr. Khan also engages himself in extension services through field visit, organized meetings with local farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs, attending workshops and conferences in home and abroad. He has a number of publications in peer reviewed national and internal journals. Currently he is serving as the Executive Editor of the journal named “South Asian Journal of Agriculture” (https://www.saja.edu.bd) published half yearly from the Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh.
In
2015 Professor Dr. Khan did PhD in Horticulture majoring the Postharvest
Physiology of Horticultural Crops, from Curtin University, Australia. He
enjoyed the Curtin International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (CIPRS)
during PhD studies. Earlier he did Masters (in 2009) in Food Science Technology
and Nutrition from Europe (four consortium countries including Germany,
Belgium, Ireland and Portugal) under the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Program. Dr.
Khan obtained B.Sc. in Agriculture from Bangladesh Agricultural University
(BAU) in 1995 followed by the MS in Horticulture from the same University in
1997. 1) Bangladesh In 1997. During his studies in BAU, he enjoyed merit scholarship
from the University and National Science and Technology scholarship from
Ministry of Science and Technology, Bangladesh, for conducting research as a
part of Masters Degree.

Patent
Method of retarding an ethylene response: Zora Singh, A Payne, Shamim Khan and Mufta jointly developed ethylene antagonists which will be vital to reduce postharvest losses in fresh produce. Currently fresh produce postharvest losses ranged between 30 to 44%. Patent has been filed through Curtin IP Commercialisation, Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research (Australian Provisional Patent Application, 2015904507; Curtin University of Technology).
