during PhD studies. Earlier he did Masters (in 2009) in Food Science Technology
and Nutrition from Europe (four consortium countries including Germany,
Belgium, Ireland and Portugal) under the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Program. Dr.
Khan obtained B.Sc. in Agriculture from Bangladesh Agricultural University
(BAU) in 1995 followed by the MS in Horticulture from the same University in
1997. 1) Bangladesh In 1997. During his studies in BAU, he enjoyed merit scholarship
from the University and National Science and Technology scholarship from
Ministry of Science and Technology, Bangladesh, for conducting research as a
part of Masters Degree.

Patent
Method of retarding an ethylene response: Zora Singh, A Payne, Shamim Khan and Mufta jointly developed ethylene antagonists which will be vital to reduce postharvest losses in fresh produce. Currently fresh produce postharvest losses ranged between 30 to 44%. Patent has been filed through Curtin IP Commercialisation, Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research (Australian Provisional Patent Application, 2015904507; Curtin University of Technology).
