Biography
Amit Hasan Anik is a dedicated and passionate young academic and researcher with a strong educational background in environmental science. He obtained both his BSc and MSc in Environmental Science from the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP). Currently, he is pursuing his PhD in Civil Engineering (Environmental) at North Dakota State University (NDSU), USA. Besides, he serves as a Lecturer (on study leave) in the Department of Environmental Science at BUP, where he imparts his knowledge and expertise to aspiring environmental scientists. Amit's journey in academia has seen him in various roles, including Lecturer in the Department of Environment Protection at the German University Bangladesh (GUB), Research Associate at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, and Research Assistant at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment. His research interests encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from toxic elements and emerging contaminants to hydro-biogeochemistry, environmental toxicology, human health risk assessment, and microplastics. More specifically, his current research focuses on fate, effects, mechanistic pathways, and source apportionment of Emerging Contaminants (Per- and polyfluoroalklyl substances (PFAS), OCPs, PPCPs, EDCs, etc.) in different environmental compartments. As a novice researcher, Amit has already made a significant impact, authoring 41 scientific research articles and book chapters (with over 830 citations and an h-index of 15) in esteemed journals (Q1/Q2) from Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
