PROFILE
SHORT BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Shafi Mohammad Tareq obtained M.S. from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and was awarded D.Sc. from the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, Japan. Dr. Tareq also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) from the University of Nottingham and became a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, U.K. In his early career, he worked as a Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow at Nagoya University and a Commonwealth academic fellow at the University of Birmingham, U.K. He also worked as a founding faculty member and chair of the Department of Environmental Sciences, at Jahangirnagar University. Dr. Tareq worked as a visiting researcher at the University of Shiga Prefecture and Hokkaido University, Japan. Recently, he worked as an associate professor at the School of Bioscience, at the University of Nottingham. He is skilled in environmental monitoring and assessment with a special focus on pollution and health risk assessment. He also investigated Hydrobiogeochemical processes and the fate and transport of emerging chemicals that impact human and environmental health. Dr. Tareq is a pioneer in environmental education and research in Bangladesh and established the first Hydrobiogeochemistry and Pollution Control Laboratory at Jahangirnagar University. He has published important papers on pollution and health risk assessment, greenhouse gas emissions, biomedical and plastic waste management, and climate change. He got a very prestigious Bangladesh Academy of Science and the World Academy of Science (BAS-TWAS) young scientist gold medal, 2013 for his outstanding contribution to national science and technology. Dr. Tareq enlisted as a Fellow (FRSC) and Charted Environmentalist (CEnv) in the Royal Chemical Society, U.K. He published more than 100 papers in refereed journals (with total citations of more than 2020 and h-index 24) and contributed several chapters in books published by international publishers like Elsevier and Springer. Dr. Tareq presented his research at many international conferences in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. His contribution to lignin molecular biogeochemistry was published in a book titled "Lignin Molecular Biogeochemistry: Principles and Practices" from the USA. He has also edited several special issues of high-impact international journals as a Guest Editor. Currently, he is working as a professor at the Department of Environmental Sciences, at Jahangirnagar University.
