I am a Professor of English at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), where I also served as the Head of the Department of Humanities from January 2024 to January 2026. My work is centered on the study of language and literature, particularly where these fields intersect with social equity. Currently, I hold a position as a Research Fellow at INTI International University, Malaysia (January 2026 – December 2028). I also serve as an Adjunct Faculty member at the University of Dhaka, teaching in the Department of Philosophy and the Department of World Religions and Culture.
My research involves both regional and international collaborations, including an ongoing role with a research consortium at the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in India and a previous term as a Visiting Professor at Chandigarh University (August–September 2024). Having received my academic training in Dhaka and Bangi, Malaysia, I focus on two primary research tracks. Within applied linguistics, I work on Discourse Analysis (Genre Analysis, to be more specific), Syllabus Design, Corpus Linguistics, and Academic and Professional Writing. In the field of literature, my interests include Modern British Fiction and Postcolonial Literature(s).
Beyond teaching and research, I am involved in several advisory and evaluative roles for national and regional academic and public bodies. This includes contributing to higher education quality enhancement and acceleration initiatives, as well as participating in professional selection boards for public and technical universities. My other institutional activities involve serving as an expert for postgraduate programs, acting as an external examiner for PhD candidates and English departments across South Asia, and reviewing awards for doctoral research excellence within the country.
On a personal level, I find peace in Islamic practices and in the study of holy scriptures from various religions. For physical well-being, I maintain a "halal" diet, practice morning yoga, and take brisk walks in the evening. While I do not swim regularly, I enjoy taking the opportunity to swim in a pond, lake, river, or pool whenever it arises. My reading habits are eclectic, though I maintain a particular interest in the classics of literature.
