Short Biography

Abdullah Shams Bin Tariq is a Professor of Physics at the University of Rajshahi. He received his PhD from the University of Southampton as a Commonwealth Scholar. He is an Associate Fellow of the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences (BAS), an alumnus of the Global Young Academy (GYA), where he also led the Working Group on Global Access to Research Software and served for two terms on the Executive Committee.

He has also been a Junior Associate of the Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste, Italy, and a member of the first Advisory Board of AuthorAid. He won the Razzak-Shamsun Physics Research Award in 2003 (Best research by a Bangladeshi physicist in a year), and the TWAS Young Scientist Award Bangladesh in 2010 – Physical Sciences: Junior Category. Apart from research in particle and nuclear physics, he has worked for research capacity building in Bangladesh pioneering the Library Consortium of Bangladesh (LiCoB) for access to e-resources and the Arun high performance computing cluster, one of the first in Bangladesh open for researchers. He is an Open Access (OA) enthusiast, with concerns in particular on the author pays model of OA implementation. He was one of the two Co-Chairs of the IAP Working Group that has recently published a report on Combatting Predatory Academic Journals and Conferences.
