Biography

Dr. Abul Hasnat Md. Shamim

Associate Professor (Soil Science)
B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. in Soil Science, Dhaka University (DU), Bangladesh
PhD in Environmental Science, Okayama University, Japan

Dr. Shamim was born on 15th July 1976 in Chapai Nawabgonj district, Bangladesh. He obtained B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. in Soil Science degrees from DU securing First Class in both the cases. He received several prestigious awards from DU. He also kept the same trend of outstanding academic attainments in his PhD studies (2007-2010) at Okayama University, Japan under Japanese Government Monbukagakusho scholarship.
During his PhD research on desalinization of saline soil with slaking and drying, he has got some interesting results for clarifying such a new desalinization method (an efficient, low cost). To have a breakthrough in his current project, he needs to confirm that soil slaking is a salt releasing process and does not degrade the infiltration characteristics of soil by column test which simulates actual soil layer in the field. He also needs to develop a simulation method to know how much salt will dissolve to outer solution, how much will shift to exchange phase and how much will precipitates after drying the soil.

Dr. Shamim joined Bangladesh Open University (BOU) in March 2005 as a Lecturer in Soil Science. He is now an Associate Professor since June 2012 in the School of Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD), BOU. He received extensive training on capacity building for Open and Distance Learning materials. He has played a significant role in all activities of SARD in BOU providing education in distance mode. His field of interests include: Problem soils and their sustainable uses, Ecosystems of salt affected soils and their management. He was engaged in different National and International project during 1999-2004. He has published more than 24 research articles and books in peer-reviewed National and International reputed Journals.

Dr. Shamim actively participated in many international conferences and symposia and presented his research findings. He is an active member of many professional societies at home and abroad and serving as editor and reviewers of some international journals.
