The title of his Ph.D. Thesis is “Evaluation of Contamination Potential and Treatment Techniques of Leachate Generated from Landfill Lysimeter”. The conducted research work is the first of this kind in Bangladesh. The outcome of this dissertation can be used to evaluate the level of contamination of the leachate  generated from landfill and hence the appropriate techniques can be proposed to treat the leachate to reduce the contamination at an acceptable level before discharge it into the natural streams. 6 Journal and 18 Conference papers already published from the findings of this research.
