Mr. Araf Mahmud | Environmental Science | Research Excellence Award
Dhaka International University | Bangladesh
Mr. Araf Mahmud is an emerging researcher in environmental radioactivity, nuclear safety, and materials-related applications, with a strong focus on radiological risk assessment and multivariate statistical analysis of environmental matrices. His work addresses natural and anthropogenic radioactivity in soils, sands, sediments, and coastal and industrial regions, with implications for public health, ecological safety, and nuclear facility siting. He has contributed to pioneering baseline studies around power plants, gas fields, ship-breaking zones, and industrial belts in South and Southeast Asia. His research integrates gamma spectrometry, hazard index modeling, GIS-based analysis, and statistical techniques to support evidence-based environmental monitoring and policy-relevant radiation protection frameworks.
