Hello, welcome to my website. Let me introduce myself.
I am Md Rakibul Hasan. I have completed my B.S. (chemistry) and M.S. (inorganic chemistry) from the Department of Chemistry, University of Chittagong. Furthermore, I am actively seeking a Ph.D. position in analytical chemistry—particularly the development and application of mass spectrometry and separation science techniques.
In my master's thesis, I used FAAS to quantify heavy‑metal contaminants in vegetables, giving me hands‑on experience with sample preparation and quantitative analysis. In addition to my academic endeavors, I am actively engaged as a research assistant at The Red-Green Research Center ( RGRC ). Here, I have investigated how deep eutectic solvents (DESs) influence protein folding nature, explored the use of crown ethers for Cs ion removal from nuclear wastewater, and explored mechanochemical preparation for deep eutectic solvents, etc. These projects have sharpened my analytical chemistry skills across a broad range of techniques—FTIR, NMR, DSC, TGA, GC‑MS, LC‑MS, and DART‑MS—and deepened my ability to interpret spectral data through molecular‑dynamics simulations and other computational approaches.
Across these projects, a unifying theme has been the use of LC–MS‑based methods to monitor and understand emerging contaminants and their effects on biological or environmental matrices and applying computational approaches to probe reaction mechanisms as a complement to the experimental techniques. I aim to contribute to a PhD program that leverages cutting‑edge mass spectrometry and separation science to address pressing environmental and analytical challenges.
Throughout my research, I had also co-mentored one undergraduate group from our lab working on the investigation of gas-phase amino acid nanocluster formation during electrospray ionization techniques by performing MD simulations and quantum calculations. Besides, I am volunteering as a lab manager in the RGRC. In this position, I help new research intern learn various computational software such as Gaussian, YASARA, GROMACS, DESMOND, etc.
In addition, I am familiar with R programming for data visualization and statistical analysis. I have prepared two PCA scripts using R programming. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research on stoichiometric host-guest complexation between crown ether-heavy metal systems for extraction purposes using density functional theory and on the mechanochemical synthesis method of deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Both of these studies have been submitted to peer-reviewed journals.
Besides, in my M.S. thesis, I'm conducting research focused on the identification and quantification of heavy metal elements present in various vegetable samples near ship-breaking areas using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. This project also helped me gain comprehensive theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with FAAS about sample preparation, instrument operation, and data analysis.
Moreover, I presented my poster focused on the atomic-level interaction of crown ether with cesium ions in a host-guest system at the BCSIR Congress 2023 conference hosted by the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research community in Dhaka.
My primary objective is to acquire novel ideas and enhance my proficiency in analytical chemistry and other experimental methods to become an independent researcher and make substantial contributions to the analytical chemistry field. Ultimately, I aspire to innovate and create solutions that facilitate improved, prolonged, and simplified human existence.
