Post-Graduate (Organic Chemistry)
Department of Chemistry
University of Chittagong
I recently completed my master's in Organic Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, University of Chittagong, where I also completed my B.Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry. My research lies at the intersection of organic synthesis, computational modeling, and analytical spectroscopy, with a long-term goal of contributing to the advancement of mechanistic organic chemistry and data-driven molecular design.
My work integrates wet-lab experimentation with in silico simulations to explore reaction mechanisms, interaction dynamics, and structure–property relationships of organic systems. I am particularly interested in how molecular dynamics (MD), quantum chemical calculations, and data visualization can be used to answer complex chemical questions with high accuracy and reproducibility.

I strongly advocate for reproducible science, open-access research, and interdisciplinary collaboration. My academic journey is guided by curiosity, precision, and the pursuit of impactful knowledge. As I transition toward Ph.D. studies, I aim to work at the interface of organic synthesis, computational chemistry, and analytical science—bridging experimental observations with theoretical understanding.
