Biography
My excellence in the BSc (Hons.) examination as First class 1st position influenced me to pursue the dream of becoming an academician. Therefore I started my MS thesis in the Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Dhaka from 2011-2011 and there I grew research interest. This then led me to acquire another Master's in research ...
