I have 8 years of experience in molecular biology research. I published and reviewed international articles. I worked in various biological research fields which enables me to converge molecular biology to physiology. Other than basic science, I was also involved with translational science by screening drugs with in vivo models. I am learning and holding beginner level expertise in bioinformatics. I am involved in career counselling for underprivileged kids in India. I guided dissertation projects of 10+ master’s students in the field of biology. I assisted in grant and patent writings for my former and current groups. Therefore, I have diverse experience in the field of biological science and research.

1. Endocrinology

2. Toxicology

3. Reproduction Biology

4. Energy metabolism

5. Diabetic nephropathy

6. Diabetes

7. Pancreatic islet physiology

I am an Associate Professor in the Petroleum and Chemical Engineering Program at Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), with prior experience as a Professor at Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) from 2010 to 2022. My research focuses on wastewater treatment and valorization, particularly using microbial fuel cells (MFC) and photocatalytic technology, alongside developing catalysts for CO2 conversion and biodiesel production. I have secured over 2 million MYR in funding, received an international grant from the Newton Research Collaboration Programme, and led the Reaction Engineering group at UMP from 2013 to 2019. I have supervised over 23 postgraduate students, published more than 180 journal papers, and hold 16 patents. My teaching experience includes transport phenomena, chemical reaction engineering, mass transfer, heat transfer, and electrochemical engineering. I am a Chartered Engineer with IChemE and a Fellow of the Bangladesh Institution of Engineers (IEB).
