Abdus Salam completed his Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Chemistry and Master of Science (MSc) in Physical-Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. He earned his PhD in Atmospheric Analytical Chemistry from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. He subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie University, Canada and later completed a second postdoctoral fellowship at York University, Canada. He established two atmospheric science research observatories in Bangladesh, located in urban Dhaka and on coastal Bhola Island. He has been collaborating with several renowned institutions, including National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), USA; Stockholm University, Sweden; University of Washington, University of Wisconsin, Duke University, USA; Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan; Academia Sinica, Taiwan, and University of Bristol, UK. His research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and their impacts on human health, climate change, and ecosystem. He has published more than 130 peer-reviewed research articles in international journals and has contributed to approximately 200 conference and workshop proceedings. He has also organized numerous national and international workshops and conferences both in home and abroad. He actively participates in electronic and print media interviews and talk shows on environmental issues, particularly air pollution, including its causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies. He has served on various international committees, including as Co-Chair of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project (IGAC). He previously served as the Dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Dhaka. Currently, he serves as the Pro-Vice Chancellor (Academic) of the University of Dhaka.

Prof. Abdus Salam received the prestigious National Environmental Award 2025 in the Research and Technology Innovation category from the Government of Bangladesh.
