About

I am currently a professor at the School of Life Sciences, Guangzhou University, China. He obtained my Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the University of Malaya, Malaysia. I was recognized as one of the top 2% highly-cited scientists for the past four years (2021-2025), and honored as an “Outstanding Hundred Talent” of Guangzhou University (2023), a “Doctor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship” of Jiangsu Province (2021), and a “Foreign Young Talent” of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) of China (2020, 2022, and 2025). My research focuses on synthetic biology and green manufacturing of high-value chemicals and fuels by valorizing waste or biomass, driving innovations in biorefineries and the circular bioeconomy. I specialize in developing robust biocatalysts and bioprocesses, as well as uncovering genetic and biochemical mechanisms, through integrating metabolic modulation, enzyme engineering, and omics-based technologies. I have secured research grants from prestigious funding bodies, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) of China, the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China, the Department of Science & Technology of Jiangsu Province, and the Guangzhou Municipal Government. I served as a Chair, Co-Chair, or Organizing Committee Member (OCM) at some of these conferences and contributed to the academic community as Co-Editor-in-Chief, Guest Editor, and Editorial Board Member for several international journals, in addition to serving as a reviewer for over 60 journals. I have a professional membership with several international organizations, such as the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the National Young Academy Bangladesh (NYAB), the International Consortium of Research Staff Associations (ICoRSA), the Global Network of Bangladeshi Biotechnologists (GNOBB), and the Microbiology Society.
