Then, he pursued his postdoctoral research at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, USA and Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, USA. He is a Fellow (FRSC) of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) and four other International Scientific Societies.  Dr. Banik was a Tenured Full Professor and First President’s Endowed Professor in Science & Engineering at the University of Texas-Pan American, USA. He was also the Vice-President of Research & Education Development at the Community Health Systems of Texas and an Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center (San Antonio). At present, he is a Full Professor and Senior Researcher of Natural Sciences & Human Studies at the Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The diverse achievements demonstrated by Dr. Banik have confirmed his excellent contributions to academic and administrative services at the national and international levels. 

Professor Banik has been conducting synthetic organic chemistry, chemical biology and medicinal research on cancer, infection, fertility, natural products, catalysis and environmentally benign methods. Notably, as the Principal Investigator, he has been awarded $7.25 million research grants from the most prestigious and highly competitive USA NIH, USA NCI and USA Private Foundations. Dr. Banik has also received grants from the Mexico and India Government to strengthen academic partnerships. Remarkably, he has more than 800 publications (patents, papers, name reactions, reviews, book chapters, perspectives and editorials), 545 presentation abstracts and 12, 250 citations.

COURSES and CURRICULAMS DEVELOPED:

 

  • Developed a special medicinal chemistry lecture course for the master students at the Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, 1993-1994.
  • Developed a special organic chemistry course for the undergraduate students at the Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, 1993-1994.
  • Developed a special medicinal chemistry research course work for the undergraduate and master students at the Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, 1992-1994.
  • Developed an advanced organic chemistry course for the undergraduate and master students at the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), 2006; Developed with three other faculties organic chemistry laboratory course for the undergraduate students at the UTPA, 2005.
  • Developed an advanced organic and bioorganic chemistry course for the undergraduate and master students at the UTPA, 2007.
  • Participated in the development of ACS and SACS accreditation procedures at the Stevens Institute of Technology and University of Texas-Pan American, 1992-2013.
  • Continued and developed a chemistry course (chemistry for engineers) for the engineering students at the Prince Mohamamd Bin Fahd University, 2019-2023.
  • Continued and developed a chemistry course (Introductory chemistry) for the engineering students at the Prince Mohamamd Bin Fahd University, 2022-2023.
  • Paricipated in the assessment of different chemistry courses (Introductory chemistry and chemistry for engineers) with other faculties at the Prince Mohamamd Bin Fahd University, 2021-23.

 

INNOVATION in the CLASSROOM:

 

  • Published several perspectives on Teaching, Curriculum Development and Outlook in International Journals, 2006-2021.
  • Developed new experiments for students for their practical classes. These experiments were performed by several hundred students successfully within the allocated time.
  • Written class notes for students and distributed them for the past 11 years (2004-2014). Identified an innovative approach of providing these class notes to the students prior to teaching the subject matter in advance. An investigation of this approach was tested among approximately 2500 students; 800 class notes were given to the students belong to University of Texas System.
  • Innovated more than 200 unknown research projects for the undergraduate class students.
  • Innovated a different teaching method followed by a presentation examination. This method of teaching and examination is extremely beneficial for students because not only does it allow students to step out of their comfort zone and interact with the class but it also allows professors to see their students in a different light. This method also gives the students a glimpse of what it is like to present in front of a large group at the collegiate level, similar to presenting research.
  • Demonstrated classroom students to search for publications in scientific literature, to identify the periodic progress in a particular area and to draw chemical structures with their conformation and configuration.
  • Demonstrated Group Learning Method, Co-operative Learning Method, Instant Learning Method and Curious Learning Method extensively in the classroom, 2004-2023.
