Dr. Hasina Akther, Associate Professor, Department of Physics under the Faculty of Science and Engineering, is specialized in Plasma physics. She joined Bangladesh University of Textiles in 2014. Before that she worked Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI), as a Scientific officer in 2005 and Senior Scientific Officer (CC) in 2012. And in that capacity she served the BJRI till 7 May, 2014. In BJRI she experienced in Testing and Standardization department using Universal Instron machine, DTA, TGA, Abrasion Tester, Drape co-efficient, Moisture measurement machines etc to standardize and improve textile. In PhD research she characterized structural, optical, electrical (AC and DC) properties of Plasma polymerized N,N,3,5 tetra methylaniline thin film using FTRI, EA, XPS, SEM, DTA/TGA, Edward coating unit, impedance analyzer etc. Moreover she has also keen interested to research ‘Low-temperature plasma treatment in textile preparation and finishing’. She is the member of Academic Council of BUTEX, BUTEX Teachers Association, and life member of Bangladesh physical society (BPS), BJRI scientist society.
