I am a multidisciplinary researcher with expertise in analytical chemistry, environmental toxicology, and food safety. I currently serve as an associate professor at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University in Bangladesh. I recently completed my postdoctoral research fellowship at Umeå University in Sweden, focusing on the ecological and bioaccumulative risks posed by micropollutants in river and marine aquatic water systems. My academic journey includes MSc and PhD in pesticide residue and environmental toxicology from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China, as well as a BSc in agriculture from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. My research focuses on the detection, risk assessment, and mitigation of micropollutants, including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, PFAS, and metals, in food-water-environment ecosystems.
