Academic Biography Professor Dr. Md. Anwarul Kabir Bhuiya, PhD Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh Professor Dr. Md. Anwarul Kabir Bhuiya is an accomplished academic, researcher, and educator specializing in materials science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and the environmental applications of advanced nanomaterials. He is currently serving as a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. With nearly two decades of academic and research experience, he has contributed to the development of interdisciplinary research connecting materials science, physics, nanotechnology, and biomedical applications. Professor Bhuiya completed his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Physics from the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. In recognition of his outstanding undergraduate academic performance, he received the prestigious Shah Makhdum Hall Gold Medal in 2002. He subsequently pursued advanced research in Japan under the Japanese Government's Monbukagakusho (MEXT) Scholarship. He obtained his PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, in March 2013. His doctoral research, entitled “Liquid Phase Immunoassay Using Brownian Relaxation of Magnetic Marker,” focused on the development and characterization of magnetic nanoparticle-based immunoassay systems for sensitive biological detection. During his doctoral studies, Professor Bhuiya worked with distinguished Japanese researchers, including Professor Takashi Yoshida and Professor Keiji Enpuku, on magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic sensing technologies, and liquid-phase immunoassays. His research investigated the Brownian relaxation behavior of magnetic markers and their applications in detecting biological targets. This work contributed to his early publications in internationally recognized journals, including IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, and established the foundation for his subsequent research in biomedical nanotechnology. Professor Bhuiya began his academic career at the University of Rajshahi in September 2006 as a Lecturer in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. He was subsequently promoted to Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor, attaining professorship in 2019. Throughout his academic career, he has actively contributed to undergraduate and postgraduate education, research supervision, curriculum development, and departmental administration. His teaching expertise covers nanotechnology, biomaterials, materials synthesis and characterization, crystallography, superconductivity, electrical engineering, applied electricity and magnetism, and the physical properties of engineering materials. In addition to his teaching and research responsibilities, Professor Bhuiya has held important academic leadership positions. He served as Chairman of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, beginning in June 2022, and has contributed to university governance through his involvement in the Academic Council, accreditation activities, and various technical and academic committees. His administrative experience includes academic planning, curriculum improvement, research coordination, and supporting the development of educational and laboratory facilities. A significant achievement of Professor Bhuiya's academic career is the establishment and development of a dedicated research laboratory focusing on nanoscience, biotechnology, and biomedical materials. Through this research facility, he has created opportunities for undergraduate, master's, MPhil, and PhD students to undertake experimental research in advanced materials and nanotechnology. He has supervised numerous research projects and postgraduate theses, while several students associated with his research activities have subsequently pursued higher education and research opportunities in the United States and European countries. His research interests encompass the green synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials, magnetic nanoparticles, biomedical sensing, antimicrobial nanomaterials, cancer-related biomedical applications, environmental remediation, and energy-storage materials. Particular emphasis has been placed on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly methods for synthesizing functional nanoparticles using natural resources and biological materials. His research also explores the potential applications of magnetic nanomaterials in hyperthermia therapy, magnetic immunoassays, and other emerging biomedical technologies. Professor Bhuiya has served as Principal Investigator of several government-funded research projects supported by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology, Bangladesh. These projects have addressed the development of ultrasensitive magnetic immunoassays, biosynthesized nanoparticles for biomedical applications, and green synthesis of metal oxide nanomaterials for wastewater treatment. Through these initiatives, he has sought to strengthen experimental research capacity and develop practical nanotechnology-based solutions relevant to the environmental and healthcare challenges of Bangladesh. His scholarly contributions include research articles in international peer-reviewed journals covering magnetic biosensing, nanoparticle synthesis, biomedical applications, photocatalysis, and advanced composite materials. Among his notable publications are studies on magnetic markers for biological detection, ultrasensitive liquid-phase immunoassays using Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, green synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles for photocatalytic dye degradation, honey-mediated synthesis of maghemite nanoparticles for potential cancer hyperthermia applications, and silver nanoparticles with promising antimicrobial properties. His research publications reflect a multidisciplinary approach that integrates materials synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization, and functional applications. International collaboration has been an important component of Professor Bhuiya's professional development. He has maintained research connections with scientists and academic institutions in Japan, the United States, Malaysia, and other countries. His international academic experience includes research activities at Kyushu University, a visiting research appointment at the University of Malaya, Malaysia, and collaborative research involving the Center for Nanotechnology at Coppin State University, USA. He was also invited as a guest speaker at Sam Houston State University, Texas, USA, in 2024. Furthermore, he has participated in scientific exchange initiatives involving Japanese research institutions, including leading a student delegation to Japan in 2023. Professor Bhuiya has participated in numerous national and international scientific conferences as a presenter, session chair, and organizer. He has contributed to scientific meetings in Japan, Taiwan, Canada, and Bangladesh, presenting research on magnetic nanoparticles, immunoassays, and advanced materials. He has also served as a reviewer for national and international scientific journals and has been associated with professional organizations including the Bangladesh Physical Society, Bangladesh Nano Society, Korean Physical Society, and Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. His academic achievements have been recognized through several prestigious scholarships and awards, including the Japanese Government MEXT Scholarship, a Korean Government Scholarship for visiting research, research support at Kyushu University, and the Shah Makhdum Hall Gold Medal. These distinctions reflect his academic dedication and longstanding commitment to scientific research. Beyond his individual research accomplishments, Professor Bhuiya is committed to developing the next generation of scientists and engineers. He actively encourages students to pursue innovative research, international collaboration, and higher education opportunities abroad.
