BIOGRAPHY
I have been awarded a PhD in analytical chemistry with research expertise in electrochemistry and material development for next generation sensor & catalyst at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA. (Google scholar:https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1zgePKQAAAAJ&hl=en: Citation 341 to date). *My area primarily focuses on electrochemical sensing and biosensing of redox biomolecules found in blood or plasma & electrocatalysis (HER, OER, ORR etc) as well as energy storage. *self motivated and innovative. * Strong writing skills demonstrated by published research articles *Strong oral communication demonstrated by participation in conferences and/or poster presentations Before I got admission in PhD program, I was working as a scientific officer in a government research organization and an assistant professor in a public university thereafter. I carried out research on nanomaterial and /or nanocomposite synthesis and their biomedical application. I also worked on biomaterial for tissue engineering. I have 29 peer reviewed publications including 6 book chapters and 5 conferences/posters to date. I received both undergraduate and MS degree from Applied Chemistry & Chemical engineering dept. from University of Dhaka, the most renowned university of Bangladesh. I have received Dean's honor Award for my outstanding performance in undergraduate and Altria Fellowship in PhD program. I have received training on diverse analytical instruments such as SEM, XPS, FTIR, UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Raman Microscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS),TGA/DTA, UTM, Extrusion/Intrusion Molding, Ball Milling, centrifuge etc. I have completed design and analysis of experiment (DoE) and python basic training.

AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
1
Argonne Core Value Shout Out Impact Award.
Argonne National Laboratory
Description: He was awarded for accelerated discovery of innovative nanostructured electrocatalysts for HER in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs). His efforts in developing nanostructured HER electrocatalysts were exceptionally productive; he synthesized hundreds of candidate materials, several of which exhibited high catalytic activity and long-term stability in aqueous environments.2
