Personal Profile


Biography

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Marine Science at Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Bangladesh, where I have taught and led research since 2018. My work sits in physical oceanography, with a focus on Bay of Bengal dynamics, and extends to coastal and marine pollution, blue carbon, marine resources and marine spatial planning. I have led funded research projects on microplastics, trace-element contamination, nutrient dynamics, seaweed, the blue economy and blue carbon, and I supervise MS and undergraduate research students. I worked as a French Embassy Research Fellow at CSIR-NIO, Goa, India, in an Indo-French laboratory, and took part in a 26-day oceanographic research expedition in the Bay of Bengal. I also led the development of the outcome-based education (OBE) curricula for the Department of Marine Science and the Department of Oceanography at PSTU. I am passionate about learning and try to balance academic, research, social and extracurricular activities, and I bring that same commitment to teaching, research and leadership in the department.

Research Interests

Physical oceanography and Bay of Bengal dynamics; biological oceanography; coastal and marine pollution; blue economy and marine resources; blue carbon and climate change; remote sensing and marine spatial planning.

Research Interest

Physical oceanography of the Bay of Bengal (salinity structure, thermal inversion, mixed layer depth and barrier layer dynamics); coastal and marine pollution (microplastics and trace elements); blue carbon and coastal ecosystems; blue economy and marine resources; climate change and the oceans; marine fisheries and biodiversity.

Short Brief

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE BN-BD

I am a passionate educator, researcher, and explorer of the ocean's dynamic mysteries, currently serving as a faculty member in the Department of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography at Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Bangladesh. Since joining PSTU in 2018, I have devoted myself to advancing knowledge in physical oceanography, marine pollution, blue economy, and sustainable marine resources through both teaching and research.

My academic path reflects a deep-rooted dedication to marine sciences. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Fisheries from PSTU with distinction, followed by a Master’s in Fisheries Management from Bangladesh Agricultural University—securing 2nd position in my class—and another Master’s in Oceanography from the University of Dhaka, awarded with a Merit Scholarship. These journeys provided me with strong interdisciplinary foundations in areas like oceanographic processes, marine resources, and coastal zone dynamics.

A pivotal experience in my career was taking part in a 26-day multidisciplinary research expedition in the northern Bay of Bengal. During this voyage, I explored more than 20,000 square kilometers of ocean, collecting crucial oceanographic data—including CTD deployment, water samples, plankton tows, and sediment grabs—using a variety of scientific instruments. This immersive fieldwork not only deepened my practical understanding of marine science but also ignited a strong and enduring passion for applied oceanographic research.

I also had the opportunity to serve as a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, India, where I worked on coastal salinity structures using both in-situ observations and satellite datasets. Over the years, I have developed strong analytical skills using platforms like R, SPSS, Ferret (NOAA-PMEL), GMT, and Fortran, which I actively apply in my ongoing research on microplastics, heavy metals, and coastal ecosystem health in the Bay of Bengal.

Through my work, I hope to contribute to a deeper understanding of marine systems, inform science-driven policies, and inspire the next generation of ocean stewards. I firmly believe that collaborative research and curiosity-led learning are the waves that will carry us toward a more sustainable ocean future.
