Asifur Rahman
Lecturer



Asifur Rahman is a Lecturer in the Chemistry Discipline at Khulna University, Bangladesh. His work focuses on materials and environmental chemistry, particularly the development of nanomaterials for pollution control and clean energy applications. He has published several research papers in reputable international journals and has presented his findings at both national and international conferences.

Before joining Khulna University, he worked at East West University (EWU), where he served as a Lecturer in the MPS Department from February 2025. Prior to that, he also spent a period at Uttara University (UU), where as an additional role, he served as the advisor of the Environmental Club.

His recent research has centered on the design of graphene-based metal oxide and doped ferrite nanocomposites with promising applications in photocatalysis, wastewater treatment, and sustainable energy conversion. Alongside his research, he continues to mentor students, promote curiosity-driven learning, and encourage environmental awareness. Looking ahead, Asifur Rahman aims to contribute to the advancement of green technologies and sustainable solutions through collaborative and meaningful scientific research.
