Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, 1996. M.S. Applied Chemistry specializing in Chemical Engineering, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, 1988 B.S. Applied Chemistry, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, 1986 Technical skills

Hands-on expertise in operation, preparation of SOPs, method developments, design and method validation for quantitative and qualitative analysis of drugs and metabolites, agricultural, personal care products, biological and environmental samples by HPLC, GC, LC- API/ESI-Triple Quad MS/MS, GC- Single Quad/Triple Quad MS/MS, FTIR, TGA, FTIR, ICP-OES, CHNS, UV-VIS spectroscopy, SPE, SPME, LLE, etc. instrumentation and techniques were gained. Data review, supervision, project managements, LIMS, GLP and GMP works were also experienced over past decades years. Positions, employments and major responsibilities

(a) Analytical Chemist (07/2009 to present) and Adjunct Professor in Chemistry. Currently conducting analytical and bioanalytical method development and validation works using LC- MS/MS, GC- MS/MS, FTIR, SEM, HPLC-UV, HPLC- PDA, TGA, DSC, ICP-OES, UV-VIS, SPE, SPME, LLE for analysis of pharmaceuticals, agriculture, personal care products, biological and environmental samples. Moreover managing laboratories and setting-up analytical and bioanalytical, biochemistry, nanomaterials laboratories in CIE for academic and entrepreneurial resources, analyze pharmaceuticals, agricultural and heavy industries samples, supervise students’ research and provides research opportunities for faculties. Providing scientific, technical directions and instructions in the designing and accomplishing of a research program, publishing in peer-reviewed journals. Data review and handling, supervision, project managements, LIMS, GLP and GMP works were also experienced over past 10 years.

(b) Research Scientist/Professor (2004 to 2009, Dept. of Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Environmental Sciences, Baylor University, Waco, Texas, USA). Conducted method development researches for drugs and metabolites, personal care products and nitro aromatics through enzymatic metabolic processes in living organisms. Also monitored occurrence, fate and degradation products of drugs, PPCPs in different water sources and in aquatic organisms such as fish by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS. Research projects, funded by State government and Federal agencies including EPA, were managed, completed, reported.

(c) Postdoctoral Research Associate (2001 - 2004, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA). Performed research with fish hemoglobin (Hb) adducts of PPCPs (namely nitro musk fragrance ingredients) through enzymatic metabolic processes. Biotransformation, toxicokinetics, environmental occurrence and fate of nitro musks and their metabolites were investigated using GC-MS. Discovered that the Hb adducts of nitro musks could be used as biomarkers of exposure. Results were reported to peer-reviewed literature, U.S. National Academy Sciences, and the PI at EPA.

(d) Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2000 – 2001, Dept. of Pharmacy, Dongduk Women’s University, Seoul, South Korea). Investigated toxic trace metals in liquid samples including fruit juices. Results were reported to peer-reviewed journals, Korea Science and engineering Foundation (KOSEF), and advisors.

(e) Associate Professor (03/1998 – 03/2000, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh). Taught several courses such as Advanced Analytical Chemistry and Instrumental analysis, Environmental Chemistry and pollution managements, and Industrial Technology to undergraduate and graduate students, and evaluated exam papers, theses, among other duties. Supervised 5 graduate students and worked as Chief Scientific Investigator and PI in national (Bangladesh) and international research projects.

(f) Assistant Professor (05/1996 - 03/1998, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh). Taught Methods of Instrumental Analysis, Environmental chemistry and pollution controls, and Industrial Technology to undergraduate and graduate students, evaluated exam papers and involved in other extracurricular activities.

(g) Lecturer (02/1991 – 10/1992, Dept. of Chemistry, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, and University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh). Responsible for teaching different undergraduate and graduates courses. Also responsible for evaluation of exam papers, setting up laboratory for undergraduates.

(h) Scientific officer and Research Fellow (01/1988 – 02/1991, Atomic Energy commission, Dhaka, Bangladesh). Performed research with GC-FID for analysis of phenol and other hydrocarbons in water and jute batching oil. Fellowships/Scholarships/Awards/Honors

Recipient of (a) certificate of merit Award (CMA) in 2014 from American Chemical Society, (b) Scientific and Technological Achievement Award (STAA), 2005 from U.S. EPA, Washington, DC., (c) Science Achievement Award (SAA) in Chemistry, 2005 from U.S. EPA & American Chemical Society, (d) EPA-NRC Awards, 2001 from U.S. EPA and U.S. National Research Council

(NRC), (e) KOSEF Fellowships, 2000 from South Korea Science and Engineering Foundation, (d) Merit Scholarships, 1994 and UK Overseas Research Student (ORS) Awards, 1992.
