Fisheries
Hi there,
I’m Sumit Kumer Paul, a fisheries researcher and educator driven by curiosity about aquatic life and its hidden chemistry. My journey in fisheries science began at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), where I completed my bachelor’s degree in Fisheries and an M.S. in Fisheries Technology. From rivers to laboratories, I explore how science can enhance fish quality, sustainability, and ecosystem health. I am passionate about translating research into real-world impact while inspiring the next generation of scientists. After several years immersed in research, I began my academic career in 2020, joining the Department of Fisheries at Jamalpur Science and Technology University (JSTU) as a faculty member.
Beyond my professional life, I enjoy exploring the natural beauty of Bangladesh with my family.
