Curriculum Vitae

WELCOME

       I am Dr. Saleh Md. Shahriar, an Assistant Professor in the Department of History & Philosophy (DHP) at North South University (NSU), Dhaka, Bangladeh.This brief introduction is about my credentials, acquired skills and experiences, and future professional goals and expectations.

   I obtained a Ph.D. in Economics from Northwest A&F University (NWAFU), a top-ranking public university in China under Project 211 and Project 985. I also did the B. S. S. (Honors) and Masters in Political Science.  I have published some scholarly papers in high-quality journals indexed in the Scopus ( Elsevier, Netherlands), Clarivate Web of Science, ABDC ( Australia) & ABS (UK).  My chapter contributions are also included in various edited books and global encyclopedias. Moreover, I am a peer reviewer and assistant editor of a few globally reputed journals. I have presented my research papers in different international conferences and seminars.  I am especially interested in Asian Studies with a particular focus on the global emergence of China and its economic as well as geo-political implications in South Asian states.  I would be delighted to hear from my colleagues, students, and others interested in BRI economics, international trade, cross-border relations, geopolitics, security  and China-related issues and can be contacted at: saleh.shahriar@northsouth.edu . In addition to my linguistic skills in Bangla & English, I have officially passed the Chinese Language Proficiency Test (HSK) held in China.

     Beyond my list of academic contributions over a range of national and international subjects/issues, I wish to do post-doctoral research and publications in specific areas, subject to the availability of funding and other reserach opportunities for such activities in the future.
