PROFILE

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Syed Hafizur Rahman has been immersed in diverse environmental research endeavors since the mid-1990s. With a primary focus on water-related climate change challenges, his expertise spans climate change adaptation strategies, water resource management, water pollution abatement, and innovative wastewater and surface water treatment methodologies such as EC technology. His scholarly pursuits have delved into the intricate interplay between climate change and micro-environmental dynamics, particularly emphasizing vulnerability and impact assessments, ecosystem-based adaptation strategies, and sustainable responses to climate-induced changes.

Professor Rahman is a distinguished educator, holding certifications in environmental sciences, climate change, disaster management, and pedagogy. He plays a pivotal role as an academic auditor for the Bangladesh Accreditation Council and is recognized as a certified trainer in disaster management and pedagogical techniques. Over the years, he has spearheaded numerous initiatives funded by both local and international organizations, focusing on climate change and water integrity issues.

In addition to his research and educational endeavors, Professor Rahman has undertaken leadership roles within academia. Notably, he successfully led a World Bank-funded project aimed at enhancing teaching and learning facilities within the Department of Environmental Sciences at Jahangirnagar University. Serving as the Director of the Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL-JU), he has orchestrated various training workshops aimed at fostering pedagogical excellence among faculty members.

Professor Rahman's commitment to academic quality assurance is evident through his tenure with the Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC-JU). Having served as an Additional Director and subsequently assuming the role of Director (from March 2023 to October 2024), he continues to champion initiatives aimed at enhancing institutional effectiveness and educational standards.
