Bio

I am Sadia Mim, Assistant Professor of Department of Leather Engineering at Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET). I graduated from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology with a Bachelors of Science in Leather Engineering in 2018. I also completed my Master of Science in Leather Engineering from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology in 2022. I've joined as a Lecturer in the Department of Leather Engineering after completing my Bachelors of Science in Leather Engineering degree in 2020.

During my time at from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, I have worked as a faculty and teaching assistant while participating in research. Within the laboratory, I have utilized tannery solid wastes in tannery wastewater treatment. I have also investigated on different pollutants and contaminants e.g., dyes and heavy metals removal from tannery wastewater. I have also investigated on tannery solid wastes to prepare different value added materials e.g., compost, glue etc. Currently, I'm trying to prepare different composite materials to reduce pollutants from tannery wastewater.  

At present, I'm also honored to serve as a member in the Micro-plastics Solutions Ltd. at KUET where our mission is to combat plastic pollution. The members of our groups are also striving to find out the sustainable alternatives in reducing plastic pollution for the greener future.
