Work with thought leaders and academic experts from Khulna University

I am Dr. Tamanna Jahan, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in Plant Science, focusing on sustainable agriculture. My research within Dr. Bunyamin Tar’an’s chickpea research group centers on improving phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) and enhancing abiotic stress tolerance in chickpeas through innovative soilless systems. I bring a background in soil science and plant biology, coupled with extensive lab and field research experience. Throughout my academic career, I have contributed to various projects aimed at increasing crop resilience, including work on resistance to ascochyta blight in chickpea, and blossom blight in coriander and caraway. I also have significant experience in micronutrient biofortification, notably in chickpea iron (Fe) fortification. My research integrates pathogen screening techniques and genetic approaches, which are essential for developing crops that are resilient against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In addition to my research, I am passionate about teaching and professional development. I have taught at leading universities in Bangladesh and Canada, and I actively support postdoctoral scholars as a representative for the Society of Postdoctoral Scholars (SPS), focusing on skill development and career transitions. I have also served as a judge for academic symposiums and conferences, reviewing research in plant science, nutrition, and soil science. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading detective novels, practicing Pilates, cooking, and exploring different dietary practices.
