Md. Refat J. Rakib

About

My research centers on understanding the fate and impact of marine litter and microplastics in our oceans. I am skilled in employing analytical techniques like FTIR, EDXRF, nutrient analyzer, and AAS to investigate the occurrence and distribution of these pollutants in marine environments. Additionally, I am interested in studying the role of plastic-degrading bacteria and developing sustainable solutions, including eco-friendly remediation strategies, to address marine pollution. My experience encompasses both field experiments and laboratory work, allowing me to gain hands-on knowledge and contribute to social awareness, remediation efforts, and scientific research. I am proficient in collaborating on research projects and have authored research and review papers.
