PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

I am always passionate about research and teaching. At Purdue University Fort Wayne, I teach physiology, addiction, aquatic biology, and pharmacology, and take an active role in the service of our students. My research concerns stress and immunity of animals and prevention of diseases with alternatives to drug therapy, using biotechnology. 

I am known for actively involving students in research. Under my tutelage, numerous students have successfully received grants to support their own research, presented research findings at regional, national, and international scientific meetings, and received awards and co-authorships in peer-reviewed publications. Many of those students went on to pursue post-graduate work in doctoral, medical, and pharmacy programs. 

I earned a Bachelor of Science with honors and Master of Science from Dhaka University, Bangladesh, a Candidatus Magisterri from University of Bergen, Norway, and a Ph.D. from the University of New Brunswick, Canada. From the University of New Brunswick, Canada, I also earned a Diploma in University Teaching. 

I have published numerous peer-reviewed research articles and several textbooks that have resulted in several citations globally. I also work as editors and reviewers for several journals, expert examiners for Ph.D. dissertations globally, and expert reviewers for promotion and tenure cases of global academic faculty. 

As part of my commitment to students and campus life, I serve as the faculty advisor to the Bangladesh Students’ Association and Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society, in addition to my role as Vice President of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. I have received numerous awards in recognition of my outstanding contributions to the campus community, including Teacher of the Year, Advisor of the Year, Student’s Choice Award for Teaching Excellence, Pippert Science Research Scholar Award, Community Advisory Council Service to Students Award, Tri-Beta Special Service Award, and Outstanding Teacher Award from Purdue University Fort Wayne. Besides numerous awards, mentioned above, Purdue University Fort Wayne has also awarded me with the “Featured Faculty for Excellence in Research” award in 2014 and “Featured Faculty for Excellence in Teaching” award in 2018. In 2022, I have been awarded with the "Indiana Academy of Science Fellow Award" and the “Purdue University Fort Wayne 2021–22 Outstanding Research Award”.
