Tarek completed his BS and MS in Chemistry from Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh. During his master’s program, he focused on organometallic synthesis and characterization.
Following his studies, Tarek worked in a quality control laboratory (approved by USFDA, UK MHRA, and TGA) for a leading pharmaceutical company in Bangladesh, where he gained practical experience with various analytical techniques.
Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization at Texas State University. His research focuses on synthetic modelling of the methyl-coenzyme M active site. Such work can help us understand the mechanisms of methane production in methanogenic archaea.
Outside of his academic pursuits, Tarek enjoys running, cycling, and networking.
