About

I has more than ten years’ experience on design, optimization and control of fermentation process. I did PhD on optimization and control of a new and sustainable two-stage fermentation process for production of polyhydroxybutyrate from organic waste and carbon-di-oxide (CO2) from Ghent University, Belgium under a joint research project with Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), Belgium. I also represented Ghent University and VITO research groups in a FWO-MINCYyT project on ‘Control of fermentation (bioplastics production) processes’ at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina. My post-doctoral research was on optimization of syngas fermentation for bio-fuel production. After my post-doctoral research, I had been working as a professor at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh from March 2016 to February 2022 and continued my research on development of an integrated approach of waste valorisation and PHAs production. My research focused on process technical aspects, being the actual design and control of processes and bio-reactors for efficient PHAs production.
Besides the academic position, I was worked as a Consultant in Newlight Technologies, Inc. (“Newlight”), U.S.A. a leading PHAs producing company to optimize and scale up CO2 to PHAs production technology.
Currently I am working as a Fermentation Scientist in Bioextrax AB, Sweden. I am playing a creative role in design and execution of lab/pilot scale fermentation to the exploration of new copolymer of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and pure polymer of polyhydroxyoctanoate (PHO) production and their bio-extraction and also to improve bioprocess yields and product properties. I am also responsible for exploring the technology to convert raw poultry feathers (chicken and turkey) into a protein hydrolysate.
