Professional experience : Dr. Rahman is a trained Oilseed (canola, rapeseed, flax, camelina) breeder and geneticist. Currently, he is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at NDSU. He has about 30-year experience working in teaching, research, and has expertise on double haploid, DNA technology, genomic selection, unmanned aerial vehicle, and field-based robot for phenotyping. He has released 3 canola varieties and 1 flaxseed variety in North Dakota. He has supervised 12 Ph.D. and 7 M.S. students as a major professor, and 14 Ph.D. and 19 M.S. students as a member of the supervisory committee. He has published 53 peer-reviewed journal articles. His notable research was recognized by Journal Cover Illustration in the Plant Breeding Journal, The Crop Journal, and Molecular Breeding Journal. Currently, Dr. Rahman is serving as the Faculty Senate of North Dakota State University, State Representative of the U.S. Plant Breeding Coordinating Committee, and Member of the New Crops of National Crop Germplasm Committee. He has served as the President of the North Dakota Academy of Science. At the international level, he served as the Chair of the ACS449.3 committee and a Member Fellows Committee of the American Society of Agronomy. He also served as the Session Chair of the 15th International Rapeseed Congress in Germany, Session Chair of the 20th Crucifer Genetics Conference in Australia, and Session Chair of the 2nd Int’l Sym on Sustainable Agriculture and Environment in Turkey.
