Biography

Professor Dr. Animesh Sarkar is an academician and agricultural researcher with more than fifteen years professional experience focused on food science, bioremediation of heavy metals, tea science, bio-fertilizer , bio-pesticide, agricultural waste management, food chemistry, plant nutrition, soil chemistry  and soil micro-biology. He is conducting research on the sustainable production and processing of nutrient-rich, nontoxic food and agricultural products, specifically, non-thermal technologies for food processing, enhancing bioremediation strategies, and developing methods for extracting novel food sources in pursuit of global food security.

Dr. Sarkar was grew up in his own village in Jashore District, Bangladesh. He achieved B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture (First Class) and MS in Agricultural Chemistry (First position; CGPA-A+) from Bangladesh Agricultural University. Professor Sarkar awarded “Gold Medal” from the President of Bangladesh in Sixth Convocation 2011, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh for his brilliant academic performance. He completed Chinese language course (intensive course for one year) and one year research from the Zhejiang University, China as a scholarship student financed by Chinese Scholarship Council from 2007 to 2009. He achieved Ph.D. in 2015 from Saitama University; Japan majoring in Science and Engineering under the Japanese Government Scholarship (MEXT) program. After that, Professor Sarkar completed post-doctoral research ( Standard Program, 2017-2019) as a JSPS fellow in Saitama University, Japan.

Professor Dr. Animesh Sarkar is serving as a faculty in the Department of Food Engineering & Tea Technology and has been attached with it since October 2009 as a Lecturer. Serving in the same department, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor in 2011, Associate Professor in 2017 and finally Professor in 2021.Professor Sarkar has supervised more than 35 undergraduate and four post graduate students for successfully completing their research.
