PROFILE
SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Khurshida Khayer, the eldest daughter of Abul Khayer and Mahmuda Khayer and wife of A. A. Mamun was born on 27 July 1966 in Dinajpur, Bangladesh. She passed SSC and HSC examinations with first division from Kamrunnesa Govt. Girls High School (Dhaka) and Viqarunnisa Noon School & College (Dhaka) in 1981 and 1983, repectively. She passed BSc (Hons.) and MSc (Thesis) in Chemistry with first class from Jahangirnagar University in 1986 and 1987, respectively. Khurshida married A A Mamun on 25 December 1991 (before joining Jahangirnagar University as a lecturer).
Khurshida received MPhil (in 1996), and PhD (2005) in Organic Chemistry from the University of St Andrews and Ruhr-University Bochum, respectively. She attended many national and international workshops and conferences. She is the life member of the Bangladesh Chemical Society.
