Teaching and Learning

I have acquired around 11 (eleven) years of teaching experience in different Universities in Bangladesh, of which one is my current working University named University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh, and others are Jagannath University (a government-financed public university situated in Sadarghat, Dhaka 1100, Bangladesh), Stamford University Bangladesh (Private University located in Dhaka 1209, Bangladesh), and Prime University (Private University situated in Dhaka 1216, Bangladesh). My responsibilities encompassed teaching in the undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics courses, organizing seminars, curriculum development, and conducting quality research. I have taught several courses in Mathematics extending from undergraduate to postgraduate levels that are itemized as below.

·    M.Sc. Level: Biofluid Dynamics; Quantum Mechanics; Dynamical Systems; Advanced Topics in Ordinary Differential Equations.

·    B.Sc. Level (4th Year – 1st Year): Methods of Applied Mathematics; Asymptotic Analysis and Perturbation Methods; Mathematical Modeling in Biology; Partial Differential Equations; Hydrodynamics; Mechanics; Ordinary Differential Equations; Differential Geometry; Coordinate and Vector Geometry; Financial Mathematics; Linear Algebra; FORTRAN Programming; Numerical Analysis; Business Mathematics; Calculus; Matlab/Mathematica/FORTRAN/C/C++ Programming Language; Honours Projects; Math Lab (I, II, III, & IV).

·    Special Expertise on Postgraduate Level Courses: Physiological Modeling; Biomedical Imaging; MRI & Radiology Imaging; Neural Network (Big Data Analysis).

 

During teaching, my key responsibilities are as follows:

·       Effective preparation and delivery of lectures at undergraduate and postgraduate level and the marking and assessment of that material, including as Subject Coordinator;

·       Proactive development of subject materials and delivery, including the use of modern technology and online resources as appropriate;

·       Supervision of the program of study of postgraduate students engaged in coursework;

·       Development of curriculum in applied mathematics both undergraduate and postgraduate levels;

·       Consultation with and academic mentoring of students;

·       The conduct of tutorials and practical classes.

Scholarly Achievements

My professional aims are to combine classroom teaching and research into an effective scheme for novice learners’. I ponder research as a creative and systematic work undertaken to develop scholars’ skills for rational innovations away from schoolbooks and laboratory workouts. I have been credited with 20 (twenty) full-length research articles in the refereed international journal, five research articles in the national journal, and two international conference papers. In most of the research articles, my contributions have encompassed in the subsequent dynamic constituents.

·      Create innovative concepts and its exploration from Fundamental Science to Applied Science;

·      Formulate a 2D or 3D Mathematical Model;

·      Write a programming code using C/C++ or other available software packages;

·      Analyse and interpret research findings and data;

·      Prepare manuscript and submit it to the specified journal;

·      Correspondence with the editor.

Group Research Activity/Collaboration

Other than independent research, I also engage in a group research event to expand my knowledge and share my experience with others in home and abroad. I am very ardent to inaugurate my leadership role in research in any environment. As a result, I have published 16 (sixteen) SCI/SCIE indexed journals based full-length research articles with high impact factors at the time of the doctoral study. I also collaborate with several researchers from different countries especially in the USA, China, Japan, Korea, and India, and a significant research article will come out from the collaborative research activity.
