Md Nazmus Sakib (commonly known as "SAKIB") is currently holding PhD in Physics from George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA, and working as a reseracher. He began his PhD in 2018 under the supervision of Professors Dr. Bob Meier and Dr. Erdal Yiğit, specializing in terrestrial ionosphere. During his doctoral studies, he contributed to a prestigious NSF-funded science project focusing on long-standing data-model discrepancy in the E-region of the terrestrial ionosphere. His work mainly focused on validation of a physics based ionospheric radiative transfer model to understand the ionospheric structure and variability in terms of electron number density, as well as photoelectron flux energy spectrum variation as a function of altitude. His expertise lies in scientific data analysis using observations by satellites (e.g., Atmospheric Explorer - E, Fast Auroral Snapshot explorer, COSMIC-1-2, TIMED, ICON, GOLD, MAVEN), radars (e.g., Arecibo, Millstone Hills) and empirical models (e.g., IRI). He is also familiar with numerical modeling.

Additionally, he is involved in Solar Physics research with Professor Dr. Jie Zhang(GMU) on a NASA-funded project to study the Coronal Mass Ejection propagation using EUV light by Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

Previously, in Fall 2016, Md Nazmus Sakib moved to the USA to pursue his Master's in Physics and Radio Astronomy at Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL, USA. There, he also worked as a teaching support assistant in the Department of Physics and Astronomy for two years. 

He is originally from Bangladesh, and currently resides in Fairfax, Virginia, USA since 2018.
