Biography

Mr. Alamgir Kabir is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science at Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP). As a faculty member, his responsibilities included delivering theoretical courses, demonstrating laboratory techniques, conducting field-based courses, and supervising research students. Before joining BUP, he worked as a Research Assistant in both national and international projects, where he gained valuable hands-on experience in environmental research. He completed his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Environmental Science from Khulna University, Bangladesh.

His current research interests lie primarily in water resource management and modeling, with additional interests spanning environmental pollution monitoring, toxicological studies, and sustainable management. He has authored 12 peer-reviewed journal articles and 2 book chapters, with several more manuscripts currently under review.

Mr.Kabir has received four research grants from the Centre for Higher Studies and Research at BUP and recently served as a Co-Investigator on a collaborative project with the University of Glasgow.
