Dr. Jamil Ahmed is a Bangladeshi academic and researcher whose work has contributed to the advancement of chemistry education and the study of surface and interfacial phenomena. Born in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, he developed an early interest in science that would later shape his academic and professional journey. He pursued his undergraduate studies in Chemistry at University of Dhaka. He went on to build an academic career and currently serves as a Professor of Chemistry at Khulna University. In this role, he is actively involved in teaching, mentoring students, and conducting research, particularly in the area of surface and interfacial contact.

He was awarded the NSICT Fellowship by the Ministry of Education, Bangladesh, a competitive grant supporting promising researchers. In addition, he earned the prestigious MEXT Scholarship from the Government of Japan, providing him with opportunities for advanced study and international academic exposure. Beyond his formal achievements, Dr. Ahmed maintains a deep passion for exploring the complexities of surfaces and interfaces, a field that bridges theoretical understanding and practical application.
