Dr. Nehreen Majed joined University of Asia Pacific (UAP) in 2014 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering.  She is currently serving as an Professor in the Department. Prior to UAP, she worked as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Environmental Science and Management at North South University in Dhaka, Bangladesh from Spring 2012 until Spring 2013. Afterwards she also served as a member in the coordination committee for the establishment of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering prior to opening of the department at NSU.

Dr. Nehreen has completed her BSc (Civil Engineering) in 2003 and MSc (Environmental Engineering) in 2005 from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).  She worked as a research officer at ITN-BUET until 2005 working in close association with professionals in the water supply and sanitation sector in Bangladesh.  Then she completed her PhD degree from Northeastern University at Boston, Massachusetts in United States of America specializing in Environmental Engineering in 2011.She worked as a graduate teaching assistant for the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for Northeastern University while performing PhD.

Dr. Nehreen Majed has experiences in teaching laboratory courses and supervising undergraduate summer interns in the laboratory based methods. Her fields of expertise encompass water quality assessment and control, water and wastewater treatment, biological nutrient removal and microbial ecology. Apart from looking at phosphorus analyzing techniques and advanced lab-scale configurations for reaching low effluent phosphorus levels, her PhD research introduced a novel technique to evaluate cellular level distribution of storage polymers in the polyphosphate accumulating organisms that are responsible and relevant in enhanced biological phosphorus removal technique. At UAP, Dr. Nehreen is working on different issues in Environmental field including spatial and temporal variation of river  water quality, evaluation of effluent treatments plants in industries, uptake and bio-accumulation of environmental contaminants through food-chain etc. She has a number of publications in internationally acclaimed peer-reviewed journals like Environmental Science and Technology, Current Opinions in Biotechnology, Water Research, Water Science and Technology, Frontiers in Environmental Science and also in several international conference proceedings.
