Dr. Mohammad Amir Hossain Bhuiyan Professor, Department of Environmental Sciences
PROFILE
SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Bhuiyan is one of the pioneers in the field of environmental research in Bangladesh. His efforts are mostly highlighted in the fields of environmental pollution and public health concerns, anthropogenic stresses on earth, water resources management, climate change adaptation/mitigation and disaster management in Bangladesh. His contributions in assessment, monitoring and methodological development in inland and coastal environmental research are nationally and internationally praiseworthy. His research outcomes in water resources and fluvial disaster management are considered as guidelines to policy makers for future disaster management in Bangladesh. Dr. Bhuiyan's contributions in the morphological evolution of lower Brahmaputra-Jamuna River and its sediments' geochemical characterization are very important achievement for the Quaternary Planetary changes in the southern Himalayan region. Dr. Bhuiyan regularly focuses the recent climate change problems, water resources and environmental problems in the well-circulated Daily Newspapers in Bangladesh for public dissemination of knowledge and awareness building. Dr. Bhuiyan's efforts on integrating different methodologies/approaches for better, easier, understandable and comprehensive assessment of environmental problems encoursing to the international community. Dr. Bhuiyan has successfully applied Remote Sensing & GIS techniques to geochemistry for mapping geochemical contamination zones which will benefitted for safe management of surface water and groundwater resources in Bangladesh. Dr. Bhuiyan has been promoted as Professor at May, 2016. Throughout his career, Prof. Bhuiyan achieves the William Greenwood Award 1999 for his notable contribution on morphological evolution on Lower Ganges River (Padma) by the Association of Geoscientists for International Development (AGID), Brazil. Dr. Bhuiyan received “Geomorphologist Award” by the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG/AIG), Melborne in 2009 for his outstanding contribution on morphological analysis and fluvial dynamics on the Lower Brahmaputra (Jamuna) River. During his PhD degree, Okayama University, Japan honored Dr. Bhuiyan the Academic Excellence Prize 2010 for his outstanding research acheivement in the Faculty of Frointier & Fundamental Sciences. For outstanding achevement in his research career and within the age limit of 40, Bangladesh Academy of Science (BAS) and The World Academy of Science (TWAS), Italy awarded Dr. Bhuiyan “BAS-TWAS Young Scientists Prize & Gold Medal" in 2014. Prof. Bhuiyan is a proud owner of a big number of outstanding research articles in the international peer-reviewed journals. He is a professional member of many international societies such as Geological Society of America, Japan Geosciences Union, The Geochemical Society. Currently Prof. Bhuiyan supervising many M.Sc., Mphil, and Ph.D students. He is an Editor-in-Chief of the Jahangirnagar University Environmental Bulletin. He is also working as a Editorial Board Member of an international journal "Hydrology: Current Research" published from USA. Dr. Bhuiyan is regularly reviewed many prestigious journals of Springer & Elsevier publishers. He as working as visiting scientist in the School of environmental science, JNU, Delhi, India from August 2015 to January 2016. Dr. Bhuiyan was the Chairman of the Department of Environmental Sciences, Jahangirnagar University from September 2016 to August 2019. Prof. Bhuiyan is working as a principal investigator of UGC-JSPS collaborating research project for Bangladesh and Japan since 2018. Besides, Prof. Bhuiyan is a stearing committee member of the "Alliance of Belt and Road Environmental Dean (ABRED,http://serd.ait.ac.th/2018/12/17/forum-of-belt-and-road-for-deans-of-environmental-schools/)" from 2018, which is one of the biggest environmental scientists association between China and other world.
