Dr. Mohammad Mazharol Hoque is a Professor of Chemistry at Dhaka City College, Dhaka, Bangladesh, with more than 27 years of professional experience in chemistry education, academic leadership, teacher training, examination and assessment, laboratory instruction, student mentoring, and scientific research. He began his academic career as a Lecturer in Chemistry in 1999 and has since developed a distinguished professional profile combining teaching, academic administration, assessment, research, and student development.

Dr. Hoque earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2022 with a CGPA of 3.83/4.00. His doctoral research investigated the physicochemical and biological properties of five-membered benzo-fused heterocyclic compounds through integrated experimental and computational approaches. He obtained his M.Phil. in Chemistry from BUET in 2011, focusing on the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted indoles through metal-mediated reactions. He completed his M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) in 1997, securing First Class First, and earned his B.Sc. in Chemistry from SUST in 1996 with an Undergraduate Merit Scholarship.

He served as Head of Science at Dhaka City College from 2015 to 2016, contributing to academic coordination, administration, and the development of science education. He has served as an HSC Chemistry Examiner and Head Examiner, demonstrating substantial expertise in examination, moderation, assessment, and quality assurance. As a Master Trainer in Creative Question Setting, Moderation, and Marking under the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE), Ministry of Education, Bangladesh, he has contributed to teacher professional development and modern assessment practices. He also served as a member of the Examination Controller’s Team during the 2014–2015 academic session and as Moderator of the Dhaka City College Science Club.

His research expertise includes synthetic organic and heterocyclic chemistry, transition-metal-mediated synthesis, spectroscopy, computational chemistry, DFT, molecular docking, ADMET analysis, molecular dynamics simulations, and computer-aided drug design (CADD). He has authored eight peer-reviewed international journal publications and presented research at national and international conferences. He has also received specialized training in Gaussian-based computational chemistry, molecular modelling, and computer-aided drug discovery like Kolkata, India in 2019.

Dr. Hoque is a Life Member of the Bangladesh Chemical Society and served as Joint Secretary of the Bangladesh Association for Computational and Materials Science (BACMS). He received the Best Poster Presentation Award at the 34th Bangladesh Chemical Congress in 2010, recognizing his scientific research and presentation.
