I'm

About

I am a passionate chemist, educator, and researcher committed to advancing analytical chemistry and promoting environmental safety. With a BSc and MS in Chemistry from the University of Chittagong, I have built a strong foundation in analytical techniques, industrial research, and academic leadership.

 

Currently, I serve as a lecturer in chemistry at Central Public College, where I strive to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientists. My research interests focus on analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications, particularly in developing sustainable chemical-process solutions. My experience in the hydrogen peroxide industry has deepened my expertise in instrumental analysis, quality control, and regulatory compliance.

 

Beyond academia, I am deeply engaged in community service and personal development. As a certified meditation practitioner of the Quantum Method, I integrate mindfulness into my teaching and research to enhance focus and creativity. Additionally, my background as a professional Tabla artist has instilled discipline, perseverance, and balance, which I bring into every aspect of my career.

 

My ultimate goal is to contribute to cutting-edge research in analytical chemistry and continue my journey as an educator, fostering scientific curiosity and innovation.

 

Let’s connect and explore the limitless possibilities of science together!
