Muhammad Sarwar Hossain earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Chemistry from the University of Rajshahi. He joined as a Lecturer in the Chemistry Discipline at Khulna University, Bangladesh, on September 5, 2013. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a commitment to academic excellence, Sarwar pursued his Ph.D. at Sogang University in South Korea. With his academic journey marked by dedication and scholarly achievements, he has returned to his homeland, Bangladesh, to share his expertise with the academic community. Currently, he serves as an Professor in the Chemistry Discipline at Khulna University, where he imparts his knowledge, inspires young minds, and contributes to the advancement of chemistry education and research in Bangladesh.

Dr. Sarwar's journey from his early education in Bangladesh to earning a Ph.D. in Chemistry in South Korea and his subsequent role as an Professor underscores his unwavering commitment to the field of chemistry and his determination to make a meaningful impact in the world of academia.
