About
Md. Kamrul Hassan secured the first class first position (thesis group) in the M.Sc. final examination of 1989, (held in 1992-93) from the Department of Zoology (Major: Wildlife Biology and Management), University of Dhaka. After awarding the degree, he joined the Bangladesh Forest Department as ‘Assistant Conservator of Forests’ in October 1994 and served his jobs in different units of the department till to the end of July 2017. He obtained higher education in the field of forestry and related sciences from several world reputed institutions. He received a Post‐Graduate Diploma in ‘Wildlife Management and Eco development’ from Wildlife Institute of India; a M.S. in ‘Tropical Forestry’ from Kasetsart University, Thailand; a M.Sc. in ‘European Forestry’ from Lleida University, Spain; a M.Sc. in ‘Agriculture & Forestry’ from University of Joensuu, Finland, and a D.Sc. in ‘Agriculture & Forestry’ from University of Eastern Finland. He received many prestigious scholarships from various reputed organizations namely, USAID, Bangladesh; ABD, Bangladesh; Erasmus Mundus of the European Commission; Academy of Finland for pursuing his higher degrees. Since August 2017, he has been working at the School of Forest Sciences, University of Eastern Finland as a ‘Post-doctoral Researcher’. Currently, he is involved in the ‘Industrial Forest Biotechnology and Biorefining (InBio)’ Research Group of the same institution and acting as a ‘Senior Researcher’. Dr. Hassan produced a number of full-length research articles and most of them were published in SCI journals. His research on biomass resources assessment for sustainable use, value chain analysis of forest industrial side streams, carbon footprint analysis, life cycle assessment of biofuels, and calculations of net emissions reduction from alternative use of renewable fuels, sustainability analysis of biomass and bioenergy, technologies related to waste stream management and second generation biofuel production are gaining much attention to the scientific communities at home and international levels.
