Dr. Md. Habibur Rahman was born in Bangladesh in 1991. He received his B.Sc. (2012) and M.S. (2015) degrees in Fisheries and Marine Bioscience from Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST), Bangladesh. His academic achievements have been recognized through several prestigious awards, including the University Gold Medal and Prime Minister Gold Medal.

Dr. Rahman completed his Ph.D. at the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology (SCSIO), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China, specializing in marine and environmental sciences. His doctoral research focused on coral geochemistry and the reconstruction of environmental change using high-resolution coral records, particularly investigating climate variability, terrestrial influences, and anthropogenic pollution in coastal and marine environments. His broader research interests encompass marine pollution, chemical oceanography, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, marine geology, coastal ecology, and aquatic environmental assessment.

His academic and research accomplishments have been recognized through several international awards and scholarships, including the ANSO Scholarship for Young Talents (2021), Silk Road Scholarship Awards, and recognition as an Excellent International Student. He also participated in an international summer school program at Sun Yat-sen University, China, in 2025, further strengthening his expertise in marine and environmental research.

Dr. Rahman currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Marine Bioscience, Faculty of Biological Science and Technology, Jashore University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh. He is actively engaged in research spanning marine and freshwater environments, with particular emphasis on the use of geochemical records, environmental monitoring, multivariate approaches, and ecological indicators to understand natural and anthropogenic changes in aquatic ecosystems.

He has authored and co-authored more than 30 scientific publications, with research published in international journals including Environmental Research, Marine Pollution Bulletin, Aquaculture, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, and Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology. His research profile reflects an interdisciplinary approach linking coral geochemistry, marine pollution, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, coastal ecosystem health, fisheries, and sustainable aquatic resource management.
