Biography

Dr. Kabir did his M.Sc. in thesis group from the Department of Chemistry at Jahangirnagar University in 1979 securing First Position with First Class
Synthesis, structure and reactivity of triosmium and triruthenium clusters with particular emphasis on modelling industrially important HDS (Hydrodesulfurization) and HDN (Hydrodenitrogenation) processes; Reactivity of unsaturated triosmium clusters with
The Bangladesh Academy of Sciences Gold Medal in 1996 (Physical Sciences, Senior Group) for specific contribution in the field of Science and Technology; The University Grants Commission Award in 1990; The Royal Society of Chemistry Research Fund Award for 1993, 1994 and 1995; Jahangirnagar University Prize of books, 1979 (On the results of M. Sc.)
He began his career as a Lecturer in the same year in Jahangirnagar University. Dr. Kabir was a Commonwealth scholar and obtained his Ph.D. in Cluster Chemistry from University College London (UK) under the supervision of Professor A. J. Deeming. After returning home in 1986 Dr. Kabir took up the challenging task of initiating a front line research like Cluster Chemistry. His rigorous approach and dedication to the subject enabled him to build up an active research group in Cluster Chemistry at Jahangirnagar University. He was a visiting scholar at California State University, Northridge (USA) (1989 - 1991) where he was engaged in teaching and research with Professor Edward Rosenberg and Professor Kenneth Hard-castle. In February 1994, Dr. Kabir joined Professor Rosenberg's group at the University of Montana (USA) as a Post-doctoral Fellow. He was awarded the highly prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship to work with Professor Heinrich Vahrenkamp at Freiburg University in Germany (1994 - 1996).
Published more than 140 research papers mostly in the International Journals of Chemistry with pioneering and fundamental contributions on C-H, N-H, S-H and C-N bonds activation of aromatic N- and S-hetero-cycles on trimetallic surfaces; Reversible insertion of SO2 into the N-N and P-P bonds of diiron complexes and reactivity of unsaturated triosmium clusters with small organic and inorganic molecules.
