About
Dr. Shofiur Rahman has been an Assistant Professor at the King Abdullah Institute for Nanotechnology, King Saud University, since April 2022. He earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Saga University, Japan, in 2007. Before joining King Saud University, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Memorial University, working on functionalized calixarenes for environmental sensors. He has also held positions at the National Institute for Nanotechnology (University of Alberta) and Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, Bangladesh. Dr. Rahman has published more than 100 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals. His research interests include supramolecular chemistry, chemical sensors, organic synthesis, computational chemistry, materials science, density functional theory (DFT), and environmental and oxidative-extractive desulfurization technology for producing greener fuels.
