I am currently working as Professor in the Forestry and Wood Technology Discipline at Khulna University of Bangladesh. I started my earlier career as Assistant Manager (Forests) at Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation (BCIC) and employed in Khulna Newsprint Mills Ltd., Khulna in September, 1999. I quit the BCIC job and joined Bangladesh Forest Department as Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF) under FRMP in 1999. I left Bangladesh Forest Department job and joined Forestry and Wood Technology Discipline of Khulna University as lecturer in October, 2004. I was subsequently promoted to the position of an Assistant Professor in 2006 and Associate Professor in 2009. Since 2014, I have been serving as a full professor in the same academic unit. I have been working as Review Editor/Reviewer in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems (Land, Livelihoods and Food Security); Regional Studies in Marine Science; Journal of Forestry Research; Forests (MDPI); Journal Sustainable Forestry; Frontiers in Forest, Global Change; Trees, Forests and People, Restoration Ecology, and International Forestry Review. List of Consultancy Service: (1) National (Short term) Consultant: Review and gap analysis of existing Integrated Resources Management Plan of the Sundarbans (2010-2020) and directions for a new Management Plan (2021-2030) (subject area: policy and good governance)’ with the finance of GIZ, Bangladesh from April 2021 to October 2021. (2) National Consultant as Co-management Expert in Updating Integrated Resources Management for the Sundarbans (2025-2035) implementing by CEGIS in association with Arannayk Foundation and IUCN for the period of July 2023 to June 2025.
