Awards and Recognitions During Ph.D. at UM

While pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Montana, Dr. Hossain’s known recognitions were primarily related to his research and professional involvement, as no specific university scholarships or fellowships were recorded for that period. He actively presented his research at conferences and earned a measure of distinction through those activities. For example, he was invited to present his work in Sci-Mix sessions at national American Chemical Society meetings – a privilege usually reserved for top-rated abstracts. In one instance, he gave a poster presentation on his “Metal Anti-Buffering” research that was selected for the Sci-Mix poster session at the 244th ACS National Meeting in 2012. (Being part of the Sci-Mix indicates his research presentation was judged highly by the ACS division, effectively a form of professional recognition.) Similarly, he co-presented work on visualizing electrochemical concepts which was featured at an ACS conference Sci-Mix in 2011. These invitations highlight that his research was well-received in the broader chemistry community during his Ph.D. years.

Within the University of Montana, Hossain also gained a form of professional recognition through service: from 2012 to 2014 he served as a member of the Missoula City-County Air Quality Advisory Council (AQAC). This council is a volunteer panel of experts, industry professionals, and citizens that advises the local Air Pollution Control Board on air quality regulations. Hossain’s appointment to the AQAC for an 18-month term while he was a graduate student speaks to his expertise in environmental chemistry and his commitment to community service. It wasn’t an academic award per se, but it was a notable honor and responsibility he undertook during his Ph.D. studies, allowing him to apply his scientific knowledge to real-world environmental issues.

Teaching Experiences: More 10 years of teaching experinece taeching at North South university. Prior th that six and half years’ experience as a teaching assistant in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Montana, Missoula, USA. During graduate study I had the opportunity to teach General Chemistry (I and II), Organic Chemistry, General Organic and Biochemistry.  The General Chemistry I & II were delivered using the peer-led team learning approach (PLTL).

Research Experiences: 18 years of mathematical modeling and experimental confirmation of aqueous equilibrium chemistry at the University of Montana, Missoula.  Design and implementation of Visual Basic programs embedded in Excel worksheets.  3-Dimensional surface plots in wire-frame and contour map presentations.  Design and operation of pH-statted, CO₂-free, thermostatted potentiometric measurements (ion-selective electrodes) at fixed ionic strength.  Thermal desorption/GCMS analysis of organic air pollutants captured in sorption traps and on SPME fibers.  

One and half a years as a research chemist at Exonics Technology Center, Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh under the supervision of Dr. Alauddin from the Department of Chemistry, Wagner College, New York, USA. Primary responsibility was to analyze water samples from arsenic contaminated areas of Bangladesh by atomic absorption spectrometry and ion chromatography. These projects were mostly funded by WHO, UNICEF and CDC (Atlanta).  We investigated the health effects resulting from drinking of arsenic-contaminated water in various areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India in collaboration with Dipankar Chakraborty of Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. 

One year experience as a synthetic inorganic chemist in the field of cluster chemistry with the inorganic research laboratory of Prof. Shariff Kabir, Jahangirnagar University.

• Designing customized low cost reaction set ups and conducting research in environmental and physical research labs  
• Problem solving, analytical skills and strong communication skills
• Synthesizing novel organometallic mononuclear and cluster compounds
• Sample analysis with ion selective electrodes (ISEs), AAS, GC/MS, ion chromatography, HPLC, hydrogen-generated atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (HG-AFS) and associated software for data processing.
