Md. Rakibul Hasan is a researcher affiliated with Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University, Bangladesh, whose listed research areas include clinical nutrition and related public health and food-safety topics. His supplied publication record covers pesticide-use practices, food hygiene and sanitation, and fungal contamination of food products. These topics connect agricultural practices, environmental health, food safety, and nutritional well-being. His research profile is presented in the context of consideration for the Best Researcher Award at the International Forensic Scientist Awards. The publication details and bibliometric figures below are based on the supplied information and should be interpreted within their respective reporting dates. [1]

Abstract

This profile summarizes Hasan’s reported scholarly activity through three supplied publications addressing pesticide-use patterns, food-handling practices, and fungal spoilage. The studies relate to practical questions concerning environmental exposure, institutional food hygiene, and food quality. The available bibliometric figures list 18 documents, 85 citations, and an h-index of 5. These indicators provide a quantitative snapshot but do not independently establish research quality or societal outcomes. [1]

Keywords

Clinical nutrition; food safety; public health; pesticide use; agricultural health; food hygiene; fungal spoilage; sanitation; research impact; Bangladesh.

Introduction

Food systems influence health through agricultural production, handling, storage, and preparation. Research into pesticide practices and food contamination can help identify potential risks and inform evidence-based prevention. Hasan’s listed publications address several stages of this system, offering a cross-cutting perspective relevant to public health and food quality. [2]

Research Profile

The supplied record identifies clinical nutrition as the principal subject area. The publication topics also encompass environmental and agricultural practices, institutional food-service hygiene, and microbiological spoilage. Collectively, these subjects reflect the importance of examining food-related risks from production through consumption. The full methodological details and individual author contributions should be verified against the original articles before drawing more specific conclusions. [3]

Research Contributions

  • Agricultural health: investigation of pesticide-use patterns among farmers in riverside areas of Tangail and Sirajganj districts.
  • Institutional food safety: examination of hygiene, sanitation, and food-handling practices among university campus dining personnel.
  • Food quality: investigation of fungal agents associated with gingerbread spoilage and potential environmental sources.

Together, these topics address complementary dimensions of food safety. Their practical relevance depends on the studies’ sampling, analytical methods, findings, and recommendations, which should be assessed from the original publications. [4]

Publications

  1. “Assessment of pesticide use patterns among farmers in the Jamuna riverside regions of Tangail and Sirajganj districts, Bangladesh.” Scientific Reports, 2026.
  2. “Food Safety, Hygiene, and Sanitation Practices Among University Campus Dining Personnel: An Institution-Based Cross-Sectional Study.” Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2026.
  3. “Evaluation of Gingerbread Spoilage Factors: Study of Fungal Causative Agents and Tracing of Their Environmental Sources.” Applied Research, 2025.

Research Impact

The supplied Scopus figures report 18 documents, 85 citations, and an h-index of 5. These indicators offer a limited view of publication activity and citation visibility. Citation counts can change over time and vary by discipline, publication age, database coverage, and co-authorship. A balanced evaluation should also consider methodological rigor, originality, reproducibility, and demonstrated use of findings. [5]

Award Suitability

Hasan’s listed work addresses relevant questions in food safety and agricultural health, while the reported bibliometric record documents scholarly activity. These elements provide a basis for consideration for the Best Researcher Award under the International Forensic Scientist Awards. A final assessment should review verified publication records, the nominee’s contribution to each study, research quality, and evidence of academic or practical influence. This profile does not itself confirm an award decision.

Conclusion

Md. Rakibul Hasan’s supplied publication record spans pesticide practices, institutional food hygiene, and fungal spoilage. The work represents a relevant contribution to discussion of food-related health and safety challenges. Verification of bibliometric data, author contributions, and article findings remains essential to a fair, evidence-based recognition assessment.
