Bio

Welcome to look over my website. Currently, I am serving as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Leather Engineering, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Khulna, Bangladesh. Really, I feel proud to be a member of this family almost at the commencement of this Department. Nowadays, Leather & Leather Products including Footwear will be the subsequent cash cow for Bangladesh after the RMG sector and it’s had a significant impact on the economy of Bangladesh.

I have been graduated from the Institute of Leather Engineering and Technology (ILET) [Erstwhile Bangladesh College of Leather Technology, Dhaka], University of Dhaka. During my final year student in an undergraduate program, I have been successfully completed an industrial training program for three months in PICARD Bangladesh Limited, Savar, Dhaka. After graduation, I have started service as a Design Executive at Apex Footwear Limited, Gazipur, Dhaka. I was involved with this renowned footwear manufacturing organization for almost two and half years in the product development (R&D) department.

About research, I am interested in biodegradable polymer composite for Leather products including Footwear, Collagen and Keratin based Biomaterials, Comfort studies of Footwear and Leather Garments, Solid waste management of Leather and allied materials, Wastewater treatment, Thermal Pyrolysis, and Power harvesting Footwear.

Now, I am the teacher-in-charge of two well-equipped laboratories:

  • Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems Laboratory [Which contain Shoemaster Power, Creative, Leather Goods Software including 2D & 3D Digitizer Board and Plotter]
  • Footwear Manufacturing Workshop [Which contain Toe Lasting Machine, Heat Setting Machine, Molding Machine and so on]

Finally, you are most welcome to explore different sections of my profile. Thanks a lot for visiting my site.
