About Mainul Hasan

Currently, I am serving as a full time faculty in a public university, Bangladesh, where I am teaching graduate and undergraduate level courses in the area of plant physiology, crop ecology, biotechnology, research methodology and disaster management related courses. I am working as a co-principal investigator with (i) BAS-USDA-PALS project,(ii) Science and Technology Research project of Ministry of Science and ICT Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project of MoE. In the past, I received research grant from UGC, Bangladesh to conduct research on sustainable crop production. I have unique multidisciplinary research experiences, which includes agronomic (crop production and cropping system), watershed management (sustainable farming and land productivity), nutritional (animal feeds and feeding) and biotechnology (Irrigation and agro-forestry) related research. I did collaborative research with international community during post-doc research at MU, Thailand and in NAF, Nepal as a part of DANIDA-AIT twinning program. Moreover, during postgraduate education, I coordinated a broad range of field visits in different leading overseas universities (NAIST, Japan; NUS, Singapore; CU, Hong Kong). I also have experiences in guiding graduate students in their research (supervisor: 03; co-supervisor: 06 and 04 ongoing). In addition, I jointly organized WB-funded workshop for the Sri Lankan government delegates at AIT, Thailand. In addition, I have good command in computer (hardware and software) and proficient in MS Office and various specialized research suites including SPSS, SAS; Internet and Web design. I enjoy learning things from diverse cultural and social settings and utilize my knowledge and expertise for the benefit of mankind. My long-term career goal is to be a part of an active international academic or R&D community to contribute towards high-quality teaching and research in Agriculture.
