About

Where science meets precision

I am a Senior Scientific Officer at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), with over 13 years of experience in floriculture, fruit physiology, vegetable science, and plant genomics.

My work sits at the interface of applied breeding and molecular technology — using SSR, ISSR, and SNP markers to accelerate crop improvement. I recently completed a Master of Agricultural Science (Genetics & Breeding) from the University of Western Australia, supervised by Dr. Michael Considine and Dr. Sultan Mia.

I am currently pursuing a PhD scholarship for 2027 intake, with focus on molecular breeding, marker-assisted selection, and population genetics.

Apple Breeding via MAS

Population genetics and marker-assisted selection across 192 apple accessions using SSR and SCAR markers. Dissertation submitted to Tree Genetics & Genomes.

Chrysanthemum Genetics

SSR and ISSR-based genetic diversity analysis in chrysanthemum cultivars. Contributed to conservation and breeding programs at BARI.

Molecular Marker Systems

Development and application of SSR, ISSR, and SNP marker systems for crop improvement, fingerprinting, and phylogenetic studies.

Tuberose & Marigold Breeding

Genetic characterization and varietal improvement of ornamental and commercial floricultural species in tropical conditions.

Post-harvest Research

Studies on fruit quality, ripening physiology, and post-harvest management in tropical and subtropical fruit species.

Genetic Diversity Analysis

Ho, He, PIC, HWE, Na, Ne statistics using GenAlEx 6.5 for conservation and breeding decision-making.
