Biography
Dr. Mirza Humaun Kabir Rubel is currently a full professor (Grade 3, who being promoted with the best criteria among 30 professors) in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh and placed Stanford/Elsevier top 2% scientist/researcher list 2024. He achieved top ranked quality PhD degree entitled “Study on Preparation of Superconducting Perovskite-type Bismuth Oxides by the Hydrothermal Reaction” (2015) in Materials Science/Physics from the University of Yamanashi, Japan. He is actively engaged in research and teaching on different branches of Materials in the Department of
MSE. His research interest mainly focuses on Energy, Materials, Engineering and Technology, Materials Physics & Chemistry, and Computational Materials Science of functional structural energy materials especially oxide perovskites to investigate multifunctionality by employing both experimental and theoretical methodologies. His research works have been published in many reputed peer-reviewed journals of high impact factors those competed Dean's Awards 2020, 2021, and 2023 successively from the faculty of Engineering, University of Rajshahi, best paper awards, grants, and press release for the discovery and excellent research performance. Recently (April 2025 March 2026), he has been appointed as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the laboratory of Professor Azuma (Laboratory for Materials and Structures), Institute of Science Tokyo, Suzukakedai Campus, Japan, where he is working on the Negative Thermal Expansion properties of advanced materials. He has joined as an editorial board member of Scientific Reports (Nature Publisher) and also reviewed a significant number of articles from reputed journals, book chapters, and thesis papers in his discipline. Recently, he has concentrated to edit and write several books and chapters on oxide perovskites and magnetic nanomaterials from the invited proposals of Springer, Elsevier, and CRC press of Taylors and Francis publishers. Noteworthy, Dr. Rubel is continuing collaborative research works with other professors' laboratories, universities and research institutions not only at the home but also abroad and supervising students at undergraduate and post- graduate levels. Recently, he has published a book chapter on nanomaterials, and oxide materials from the invited proposals CRC Press of Taylors and Francis.
