I am Abanti Howlader, a biotechnology graduate with hands-on research and coordination experience across Bangladesh, India, and the United States. I hold a Master of Science in Biotechnology from Fort Valley State University, where my thesis focused on synthesis and characterization of cellulose-based hydrogels.
As a Research Assistant in the Food Engineering Laboratory, I supported food safety studies on cold plasma and pulsed UV light treatments and mentored undergraduate researchers through their experiments in quality measurements such as moisture, color, and texture analysis. I have presented my work at conferences.
Before graduate school, I coordinated projects and volunteered in the research and development unit of a mental health non-profit, an experience that shaped my interest in people-focused, mission-driven work.
I am now looking for remote roles in program coordination, research support, administration, or Bengali-language AI data training and evaluation. I am a native Bengali speaker with professional English, comfortable working independently and as a team member, and at my best with clear goals and deadlines. Based in Khulna, I adapt easily to US, European, and Asian working hours.
