MD. ASHIK AZAD KHAN ANIK
Lecturer at Northern University Bangladesh
Graduated 2018
About
I am an alumnus and one of the early Graduate Research Assistants of QRNLab. I completed my B.Sc. (2018) and M.S. (2019) in Physics at the University of Chittagong. During 2021–2022, I served as a Research Assistant and Co-Investigator on a research project funded by the Research and Publication Cell, University of Chittagong.
My research at QRNLab focused on environmental background radiation, Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), geospatial modeling, and spatial radiation assessment. I am currently pursuing an M.Phil. in Atmospheric Physics at BUET, with my research interests extending to atmospheric processes, aerosol particles, particulate matter, and computational assessment of urban air quality.
Alongside my research, I have pursued an academic career in physics education. I currently serve as a Lecturer in Physics at Northern University Bangladesh, having previously served as a Physics Teacher at Mohammadpur Preparatory School & College and as Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Mathematics & Natural Sciences at BRAC University.
