About

Dr. Mohammad Tariqul Islam is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB). He joined the university as an Assistant Professor in January 2015. After completing his PhD, he worked as a Lecturer at Dongseo University, South Korea. He later completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Kyungpook National University (KNU). Prior to joining KNU, he also conducted one year of postdoctoral research at the School of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, South Korea.

He earned his PhD in Polymer and Nanomaterial Science in February 2011 from the Department of Image Science and Engineering at Pukyong National University, South Korea. During his doctoral research, he focused on the morphology and microstructure formation of block copolymers through annealing. He also utilized block copolymeric micellar systems to synthesize inorganic nanoparticles and investigated the ordering of nanoparticles in thin films via annealing. Dr. Islam completed his BSc (2002) and MS (2003) degrees in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. He passed his HSC (1997) from Dhaka College and SSC (1995) from Monipur High School, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Dr. Islam has published fifteen peer-reviewed research papers in high-impact reputed journals, along with one book chapter. His research interests include polymerization techniques such as ATRP and RAFT, supercritical CO₂ (scCO₂) in polymerization, morphological studies of block copolymers, nanocomposites, and sensor development. He has participated in numerous national and international conferences, symposiums, and webinars held at AIUB and other institutions across South Korea, Spain, and England, receiving several awards for his oral and poster presentations.

From 2021 to 2025, his research projects were selected across several fiscal years for government funding under the Special Allocation for Science and Technology, where he served as the principal investigator on behalf of AIUB. In addition to his academic work, Dr. Islam is actively involved in social and cultural welfare programs organized by AIUB and other organizations. He is also passionate about sports, particularly football, badminton, and tennis.
