Md Ashraful Islam obtained his PhD degree in 2021 on 'monitoring and mitigating heat stress in cattle' with Dairy Science Group and Livestock Production and Welfare Group in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at The Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Sydney, Australia. He completed his BSc in Animal Husbandry (Hons) in 2005 from Bangladesh Agricultural Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম (BAU). After that, he has been involved in milk microbial and keeping quality enhancement research since 2006 as a Master's degree student in the Department of Dairy Science of the same university and completed his MS in Dairy Science in 2007. He has been employed as an academic staff member in the Department of Dairy Science of Patuakhali Science and Technology Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম (PSTU) in 2009. With teaching and research involvement in the same line including market analysis and welfare issues in the livestock sector of Bangladesh, he is now working as a Professor of Dairy Science with the same employer, and his current research focuses on dairy production, automated detection and strategic mitigation of heat stress in cattle based on sensor data.
Social, Economic and Environmental Sustainability of Dairying; particularly dairy production in changing climate with the focus on heat stress assessment, monitoring and mitigation strategies involving automation and precision livestock farming technologies.
