Welcome Dr. Rahman

Rahman family
Mohammad Rahman at his Ph.D. graduation ceremony in Nagoya University, Japan with his wife and son in traditional Japanese dress.

Mohamad Rahman, Ph.D., joined the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology as an Assistant Professor in August 2021. Find out more about him with this Q&A.

  • Where are you from and what do you miss most? I am from Bangladesh. I miss my childhood. I wish I could go back to my middle school and meet my friends.
  • Fun fact about yourself. I wanted to serve as a fighter pilot in the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF). I was rejected during my enrolment as a cadet in the BAF due to my compromised eye power. Then I became a biologist. Now I feel fortunate for my rejection from the BAF, which allowed me to explore the fascinating mysteries and fun of biology.
  • What is your favorite place you’ve lived? I completed my undergraduate education in Bangladesh. I moved to Nagoya in Japan for my Ph.D., and stayed there for six years. Then I moved to New York, and stayed there six years more for my Postdoctoral training, prior to my moving in Little Rock. So far, Nagoya is the most favorite place I have ever lived.
  • What place you would like to visit? I would like to visit Melbourne.
  • Do you like to cook? What is your favorite recipe? I love to cook. I enjoy cooking South Asian cuisines. My favorite recipe is Mutton Biryani.
  • What is your favorite food? I love hot and spicy foods. My most favorite food is Mutton Biryani.
  • What is your favorite sport? My favorite sport is cricket.
  • What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is “3 Idiots”, Directed by RajKumar Hirani.
  • What is your favorite song or band/singer? My favorite band is Little River Band (LRB) in Bangladesh.
