I am a
faculty member in the Department of Physics at the University of Rajshahi,
Bangladesh, where I also earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in physics. I later completed a highly intensive pre-PhD level postgraduate
diploma at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics
(ICTP), Italy, and earned my doctoral degree from Kyushu University,
Japan.
As a dedicated lifelong learner, I have attended academic lectures delivered by professors from more than 40 countries. This global exposure - combined with research experiences at renowned institutions such as ICTP (Italy), Kyushu University (Japan), IIT Kharagpur (India), and the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) - has broadened my academic perspective and strengthened my research foundation. I have taken part in over a hundred international workshops, summer schools, and conferences/symposiums, many of which involved highly competitive selection processes. In several of these programs, I represented Bangladesh as the sole or one of the earliest Bangladeshi participants.
My
academic journey has been supported by several highly competitive international
fellowships, including from the United Nations (UN), the Yoshida
Scholarship Foundation (YYK), and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS).
I began
my research career at the Nuclear Physics Research Lab at Rajshahi
University and subsequently continued research activities at ICTP, Kyushu
University, IIT KGP and IMP under the guidance of senior scientists. Over
the years, I have expanded my research experiences through collaborations in Bangkok
and Delhi, which expanded my interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
understanding.
I have
visited a number of universities and research centers across different
countries to learn about diverse teaching approaches, curricula, and research
cultures. Having travelled to more than twenty countries, I have
interacted with many academics and researchers whose perspectives have shaped
my academic outlook.
I am the founder
of the Nuclear Science Research Lab in my department, where I supervise
both undergraduate and postgraduate students. My ongoing work focuses on nuclear
reaction modeling, nuclear data evaluation, and Monte Carlo and
machine-learning-based simulations for Accelerator-Driven System (ADS)
as well as selected astrophysical and medical physics
applications.
I have
organized more than twenty-five academic workshops and seminars, both
online and in person, and have delivered invited talks on nuclear physics,
career development, and research skills. I have independently
managed many of these events from planning to implementation. In addition to my
academic experience in Bangladesh, I have presented my work internationally and
gained exposure to diverse scientific audiences. I am comfortable delivering
concise, structured lecture sessions within my areas of expertise.
I remain
committed to continuous learning to advance research, mentorship, and
teaching, with the aim of contributing meaningfully to both national and
international scientific communities.
