Academic & Carrier History of Dr. Mina
Dr. Md. Forhad Mina was born at Narail,
Bangladesh on 14 June, 1968. The Bachelor of Science (Hons.) and the Master
of Science (M. Sc.) degrees in Physics were respectively conferred upon him
in 1988 and 1989 by the University of Dhaka. Immediately after completing his
M. Sc. degree, he was awarded Japanese Government (Monbusho) scholarship as a
Research Student of the Physics Department, Shizuoka University, Japan. He
took his Doctor of Science Degree in 1999 from the Graduate School of Science
and Engineering, Shizuoka University in Materials Science, with special
emphasis in the fields of Crystallography and Phase Transitions of Polymeric
Materials. He was also awarded teaching and research assistantship while
carrying out his Doctoral Program as recognition of his performance. He
served with the American International University Bangladesh as a teaching
staff from June to December 1999. Thereafter, he joined Bangladesh Atomic Energy
Commission (BAEC) as a Scientific Officer in 2000 and was promoted to Senior
Scientific Officer in 2005, and in that capacity he served the BAEC till 20
August, 2007. During his tenure at BAEC, he completed Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program from the Institute for the Structure of Matter, CSIC, Madrid, Spain
in 2002 and Follow-up Research Fellowship from the Department of Physics,
Shizuoka University, Japan in 2005. His academic persuasion took him to a
scientific visit to Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg, Germany in
2003. He joined as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics,
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) on 21 August, 2007
and was promoted to an Associate Professor on 23 November, 2010. Dr Mina has
been a Professor of the Department of Physics, BUET, from 23 August, 2014. He
has also completed a one year postdoctoral fellowship in the Faculty of
Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering, University Malaysia Pahang. His
special interests are to perform research on advanced Polymer materials,
particularly in processing and development of polymer blends & composites
and their characterization using novel techniques- the areas in which he has gained
substantial experiences. Moreover, he has also keen interests in
crystallization and phase transition studies of novel polymers, including
those of bio- and synthetic origin, on which he had extensively worked before
and also has further intentions to contribute to this field. He has to his
credit about 70 scientific papers, the majority of which were published in
internationally reputed Journals.
