Dr. Fouzia Akter
Assistant Professor & Head Of The Department

This is Dr. Fouzia Akter (Soil Science), Assistant Professor (Head), Department of Agriculture, Teesta University, Rangpur, Bangladesh. I am eager to learn new technologies in separation science, especially the detection of trace ions and their purification and analysis through multidimensional chromatographic techniques. Additionally, soil physical and chemical properties analysis by spectrophotometric techniques is also my major area of interest. Besides research, I like to teach students about soil science with hands-on experience.
