Dr. Md. Nabiul Islam Khan
Professor
Dr. Md. Nabiul Islam Khan
completed his B.Sc. (Hon’s) in Forestry from Forestry and Wood Technology
Discipline, Khulna University in 1997 (1st class 1st). He
obtained MS (2002) and Ph.D (2005) in Forest Ecology
from University of the Ryukyus, Japan under Monbukagakusho scholarship. He was
awarded Alexander Von Humboldt Postdoc fellowship, Germany (2009-2011) and FNRS
(National Science Foundation of Belgium) Postdoc fellowship, Belgium (2011-2013)
for advanced research. Dr. Khan published a significant number of articles international journals. His research focuses on forest biomass inventory, forest carbon
assessment, computer simulation modelling of
forest dynamics and their utilization in forest management. He is now working
as a Professor in Forestry and Wood Technology Discipline, Khulna University,
Bangladesh.
BSc in Forestry, Khulna University (1993-1997) ;
MSc in Mangrove Eco-physiology, University of the Ryukyus, Japan (2000-02);
