Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Vol 1

Dr. Mirza Hasanuzzaman is a Professor of Agronomy at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Hons.) from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, where he achieved First Class, received a Gold Medal for being first in his class, and earned a Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Award. He also completed a Master of Science in Agronomy from the same university, where he was once again at top of his class with a CGPA 4.0. In 2012, he received his Ph.D. with a dissertation on ‘Plant Stress Physiology and Antioxidant Metabolism’ from the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Ehime University, Japan with a Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. Later, he completed his postdoctoral research in the Center of Molecular Biosciences (COMB), University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan with a ‘Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)’ postdoctoral fellowship. Subsequently, he became an Adjunct Senior Researcher at the University of Tasmania with an Australian Government’s Endeavour Research Fellowship. Dr. Mirza Hasanuzzaman is one of the Highly Cited Researchers recognized by Clarivate Analytics and the only Bangladeshi researcher with this recognition. Prof. Hasanuzzaman published over 250 articles in the high-profile international peer-reviewed journals. He edited 33 books and written 45 book chapters on important aspects of plant physiology, plant stress tolerance, and crop production. These books have been published by world-renowned publishers such as Springer, Elsevier, CRC Press, and Wiley. According to Scopus, Prof. Hasanuzzaman’s publications have already received over 17000 citations with an h-index of 68. Prof. Hasanuzzaman’s current research foci include the crop responses to climate change and physiological and molecular mechanisms of environmental stress tolerance. He completed several research projects funded by the World Bank, FAO, the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh, the Ministry of Science and Technology (Bangladesh), and others.
