During my PhD study, I conducted research in functional genomics, abiotic stresses, transcriptome, melatonin, brassinosteroids, cell signaling, gene regulation, hormonal pathways, antioxidant metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), etc. In 2011, I joined a scientific officer in the agronomy division of Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur-1701, Bangladesh. In November 2017, Wheat Research Centre, BARI was gazetted as the “Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute (BWMRI)”, Nashipur, Dinajpur-5200, Bangladesh. In the institute, I have been working as a scientific officer in the wheat breeding division. Here I have been conducting research to develop drought, salt, and heat-tolerant wheat variety (s) through phenotypic and genomic selection, and marker-assisted selection (MAS). Research Interests: Genomics, stress physiology, abiotic stress, cell signaling, wheat genomic selection, hormonal pathways in responses of abiotic stresses, antioxidant metabolisms, melatonin, brassinosteroids (BRs), and bioinformatics.
