Modern agricultural science is inherently borderless. Over the past fifteen years, my academic formation has evolved from coastal agronomy in southern Bangladesh to horticultural plant physiology in Gazipur, smart-farm automation in South Korea, and doctoral studies in eastern Anatolia, Türkiye.

1. Foundations in Coastal Agriculture & Disaster Resilience at PSTU (2007–2012)

At Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), situated in the cyclone- and salinity-prone southern delta of Bangladesh, I completed my B.Sc. in Agriculture (Hons.) followed by a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Disaster Management. Studying agriculture directly in the coastal belt—alongside a cross-border SAARC study tour across India, Nepal, and Bhutan—instilled a lifelong commitment to climate-resilient seed systems and abiotic stress tolerance.

2. MS in Horticulture at Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU / BSMRAU, 2011–2014)

MS Supervisor (Major Professor & Chairman of Advisory Committee): Professor Dr. Md. Azizul Hoque, Professor, Department of Horticulture, Gazipur Agricultural University, Gazipur-1706 (gau.edu.bd/azizul) • Reg. No.: 11-11-2725 (Summer 2014) • Thesis: “Influence of GA₃ on growth, yield and shelf life of broccoli”.

Pursuing my Master of Science (MS) in Horticulture at Gazipur Agricultural University (formerly BSMRAU) (CGPA 3.66/4.00) under the supervision of Professor Dr. Md. Azizul Hoque, I worked as a Graduate Research Fellow investigating how exogenous plant growth regulators (Gibberellic Acid — GA₃) and micronutrients (Boron) interact with genotypes to regulate curd initiation, hollow-stem prevention, shelf life, and yield in broccoli, resulting in 6 co-authored peer-reviewed journal publications.

3. Smart Farming & Deep-Tech Incubation in South Korea (KIPA OASIS & KPC, 2021)

After winning 1st Place Honors out of 3,147 submissions in the national iDEA ide@THON competition under the ICT Division of Bangladesh, I completed the 6-month residential Bangladesh Frontier Startups Business Preparation (Precision Agriculture) fellowship in Seoul with the Korea Productivity Center (KPC) and Korea Invention Promotion Association (KIPA)—earning the OASIS-1, OASIS-2, and OASIS-4 intellectual property and startup commercialization credentials.

4. Doctoral Fellowship at Atatürk University, Erzurum, Türkiye (2024–Present)

Selected under the World Bank-funded PARTNER Project fellowship of the Ministry of Agriculture, I joined the Department of Horticulture at Atatürk University in Erzurum, Türkiye in October 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ertan Yıldırım. Our conceptual focus explores smart controlled-environment horticulture and precision irrigation strategies for vegetable seedling production.
