About: I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor (on study leave) in the Department of Oceanography and Hydrography at BSMR Maritime University (BSMRMU), a position I have held since August 11, 2022. Prior to this, I served as a Lecturer in the same department from January 13, 2019 - August 10, 2022. Before joining BSMRMU, I worked as a Lecturer in the Department of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography at Patuakhali Science and Technology University from July 8, 2018 - January 12, 2019.
Research Area:

As a Distinguished Doctoral Fellow:


Working to develop a hyperspectral absorption-based, wavelength- and depth-resolved primary productivity (PP) algorithm for the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) by utilizing both in-situ optical data and ‘Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem (PACE)’ satellite ocean color observation. Also utilizing photosynthesis-irradiance (P-E) parameters, downwelling irradiance, phytoplankton spectral absorption, diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd 490), and quantum yield. This novel hyperspectral PP algorithm will be applicable to new and emerging hyperspectral ocean color satellite observations and should be readily adaptable to other regions, specifically in the condition of an optically complex marine environment.

 

As Assistant Professor and Lecturer:

Research project:

Position: project director, funded by BSMR Maritime University research cell through University Grants Commission of Bangladesh, title: “Suspended and bed load of sediment transport in Rabnabad channel flowing towards the Bay of Bengal and their impact on element cycling”, funding amount: BDT 1,000,000, duration: 2020-2022.

 

As Master’s Research Fellow:

Thesis title: Estimation of Primary Productivity Using VGPM Model Along with Spatio-temporal Distribution of Chlorophyll-a and Nutrients in the North-eastern part of Bay of Bengal. Department of Oceanography, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, advisor: Prof. Dr. Md. Kawser Ahmed, Ph. D. (Tokyo), Post-doc (Tokyo), M.Sc. and B. Sc. Hon’s (University of Dhaka), Professor, Department of Oceanography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Secretary, Planning commission, Bangladesh.

Research Interests:

My research interests focus on absorption-based, hyperspectral, wavelength- and depth-resolved primary productivity algorithm development and modeling, biogeochemical cycling, and the application of satellite ocean color imagery to monitor coastal and shelf ecosystems. The absorption-based hyperspectral primary productivity algorithm integrates phytoplankton absorption and photosynthetically usable radiation (PUR), leveraging data from advanced satellite missions such as NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE). My work aims to improve the accuracy of primary productivity estimates in optically complex waters influenced by riverine inputs such as the northern Gulf of Mexico. I am particularly interested in understanding how physical and biogeochemical processes, such as nutrient dynamics, upwelling, and freshwater discharge relate to primary production, with the goal of refining regional productivity algorithm and enhancing satellite-based monitoring for sustainable marine resource management.
