Meet Dr. Md. Zaved H. Khan
Professor Dr. Md. Zaved H. Khan
Prof. Zaved, is currently a Professor and Chairman of Chemical Engineering and Director of NAME lab since 2017. He served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Henan University, China, and Tohoku University, Japan respectively. Previously, he was a Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of the Department of Textile Engineering at Daffodil International University, Dhaka from 2011 to 2012. From 2008-2011, he worked as a Research Associate on the GCOE project at Waseda University, Japan. Before that, he was a Research Assistant at the Advanced Analysis Centre, KIST, Seoul, South Korea. He obtained his higher education at Waseda University, Japan.
Dr. Khan obtained his higher education at Waseda University and obtained a Doctor of Engineering (D. Eng.) in 2011. Before he got his M.S. Degree from AIT Thailand in 2007. From 1999 to 2005, he achieved his B. Sc. and M. Sc. Degree from Islamic University Bangladesh. Throughout his career, Dr. Zaved has demonstrated a commitment to transnational mobility by working on his PhD and other research projects in Japan, South Korea, Bangladesh, China, and Thailand. He has successfully worked on multidisciplinary projects within international research environments, published his results in high-quality journals as articles, and presented at many international conferences.
Prof. Khan’s research focuses on the field of Nanotechnology and Electrochemistry. Khan’s interests include wearable sensors, microfluidic devices (Lab-on-a-chip), point-of-care clinical development of electrochemical sensing devices for clinical and environmental monitoring, metal-molecule interactions, microfabrication, nanomedicine, biofuel cells, bioelectronic detection of proteins and nucleic acids, self-assembly of nanostructures, nanoparticle-based bioassays, bionanomaterials, new surfaces and interfaces, sensor/recognition coatings, the development of techniques for ultra-trace measurements, synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocomposites, nano fertilizer and nano fish feed. Prof. Khan’s contributions have greatly enhanced the power and scope of applications of nanotechnology and have had major impacts on the fields of nano-biosensors, the use of nanotechnology in agriculture, and the growing popularity of electroanalytical techniques.
Dr. Khan has served on the Editorial Boards of many major international journals (in the fields of nanotechnology, electrochemistry, sensors, and analytical chemistry) and has been awarded many prestigious awards. He has published over 150 research papers in high-impact journals and presented his work at more than 100 international conferences. Prof. Khan has citations over 5000 (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=4lhxAwgAAAAJ&hl=en). He is the only professor in Bangladesh who has submitted 12 patents at Bangladesh patent office for his innovation. Dr. Khan has been selected as the best researcher at his university for the last few years. His name has been enlisted in the list of the world’s top 2% scientists from Stanford University and Elsevier for the last five years (2020-2024).
He is the recipient of the Bangladesh Academy of Science Gold Medal 2021 in physical science and UGC Gold Medal 2018 and 2019 for his outstanding research. He is the only chemistry professor in Bangladesh who has received three gold medals from UGC and BAS.
