Atikur Rahman

Research Officer - Oats agronomy and physiology

Research Interests

My broad research interest lies in result-based research to develop and optimize crop husbandry/management practices to help growers and stakeholder with sustainable production technology. I want to research the Genotype-Environment-Management interaction and its effect on Oats' grain yield and quality formation. The followings are my key research areas-

Oats agronomy (Integrated Crop Management)
Physiology of resource use efficiency in Oats
Physiology of grain and quality development in Oats
Understanding and managing biotic and abiotic stress physiology in Oats

Current Projects

Oat Agronomy and Physiology: funded by Teagasc
Healthy Oats: funded by European Regional Development Fund

Education

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Biological & Environmental Science from University College Dublin, Ireland (2020)
Masters of Science (MSc) in Biotechnology from South Asian University, New Delhi, India (2013)
BSc (Hons.) Agriculture from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh (2010)
