Education

Mr. Masum Sarker holds two master’s degrees—one in Nuclear Power Engineering and Thermal Physics from National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Russia (2020), obtained through a fully-funded government scholarship, and another in Physics from Jahangirnagar University (2017). He completed his Bachelor’s in Physics from the same university in 2016. These academic pursuits have shaped his interdisciplinary focus, allowing him to master both theoretical and applied physics. His international training has equipped him with unique perspectives on nuclear systems, thermodynamics, and advanced diagnostics in reactor technologies. His education, both national and international, emphasizes a balance between foundational sciences and applied research in nuclear energy and space plasma physics.

Work Experience

Mr. Sarker began his full-time academic career as a Lecturer at Daffodil International University in September 2022, where he teaches and mentors students in the General Educational Development department. Before this, he undertook a pivotal educational practice in the Rosatom Corporation Resource Center in Volgodonsk, Russia (2020), under NRNU MEPhI, where he engaged in research related to the VVER-1200 nuclear reactor. This hands-on exposure enriched his expertise in nuclear safety, control systems, and diagnostics. His academic experience is marked by commitment, research integration, and learner-centered approaches in both classroom instruction and lab supervision.

Research Focus

Mr. Sarker’s research primarily revolves around space plasma physics, magnetized electron-positron-ion plasma, and electrostatic wave propagation. He is particularly interested in the solitary potential dynamics, bi-kappa distributed electrons, and non-linear wave theory in complex plasma environments. His studies contribute to better understanding astrophysical phenomena and enhance simulation models in theoretical physics. During his time in Russia, he also worked on monitoring and diagnostic systems for next-generation VVER nuclear reactors, linking his theoretical expertise with applied nuclear engineering. His future research aims to explore the integration of nuclear diagnostics and plasma behavior for sustainable energy systems.

Conclusion

Masum Sarker is a strong candidate for the Young Researcher Award, particularly in the fields of theoretical physics and nuclear energy education. His international academic training, early research output, and engagement in cutting-edge scientific areas align well with the objectives of this award. However, bolstering his recent research productivity, enhancing his professional affiliations, and showcasing broader impact through mentorship or collaboration would make his candidacy even more compelling.
