BIOGRAPHY

Mr Jakiul Islam is currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU), Noakhali-3814, Bangladesh, since September 16, 2025. He worked in NSTU's Physics Department as a Lecturer from June 8, 2023, to September 15, 2025. He is one of the founding faculty members of the Department of Physics, NSTU. In addition to his academic duties, he has been serving as an Assistant Proctor at NSTU since October 3, 2024. Prior to joining NSTU, he served as a Lecturer of Physics at the National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research-NITER (a constituent institute of Dhaka University) from October 16, 2021, to June 7, 2023. Mr Islam also served as an Adjunct Lecturer of Physics at the Aviation and Aerospace University in Bangladesh for one semester (six months). He obtained a Master of Science degree in Physics from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2020, securing a CGPA of 3.92 out of 4.00. During the master’s degree, he served as a Teaching Assistant at BUET for one year, from April 2019 to March 2020. He earned his Bachelor of Science with Honours degree in Physics from Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) in 2016 (awarded in 2018), securing 1st position. He served as a member of the Scientific sub-committee at the 6th conference (2021) of Bangladesh Crystallographic Association. He has presented his research at both national and international conferences. His research interests include exploring the physical properties of chiral noncentrosymmetric superconductors, Kagome superconductors, ThCr2Si2-type superconductors, MAX phases, and metal halide perovskites, using DFT-based First-principles calculations. He has published 16 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals until May 2026. His research has been published in prestigious journals such as The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, ACS Applied Electronic Materials, ACS Omega, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, RSC Advances, Scientific Reports, and Journal of Alloys and Compounds. Mr Islam is also serving as a reviewer of well-known international peer-reviewed Journals such as Computational Materials Science, Journal of Low Temperature Physics, and Discover Applied Sciences.
