In addition GeoSpatial Lab, there are two field laboratories, one modern ‘Automated Agrometeorological Station’, Prototype Biochar Klin and several demonstration plots in the farmers’ field under his lab. Several MS students are pursuing in the area of climate-smart agriculture in this lab under his supervision. Meanwhile, twenty five MS students graduated under his supervision and fifteen MS students graduated under his co-supervision. One PhD student is working on "Prospects of Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS) as a future resilient food in Sylhet region of Bangladesh" under his supervision from September, 2023. As Principal Investigator (PI), he has experience of handling several national and international funded research projects.
