01 / About

Research-driven, field-grounded.

Md. Habib Hasan Himel

Graduate · Plant Breeding & Sustainable Agriculture

I am an agriculture graduate currently pursuing an MS in Genetics and Plant Breeding at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka. My work sits at the intersection of field experimentation, phenotypic evaluation, and data-driven crop improvement.

I have hands-on experience designing and managing field trials, greenhouse studies, and laboratory analysis — with a particular focus on genetic variability and characterization of blackgram (Vigna mungo), including multi-environment trials and abiotic stress evaluation. I use R and Python for statistical modeling and data management, and I care deeply about climate-smart, sustainable agricultural practices that strengthen food security.

Beyond research, I communicate science clearly, coordinate projects, and contribute to outreach on agricultural innovation and the SDGs. Open to scholarships, research assistantships, and roles that match these abilities.
