Dr. Haque obtained his early education in Bihar, a bachelor’s degree from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi and a master’s degree in industrial chemistry from Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi. He completed his PhD in Organic Chemistry at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi in 2014. After postdoctoral work with Prof. M. S. Khan at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, he joined the University of Hail, Saudi Arabia from 2018 to 2025 and now works at A’ Sharqiyah University, Oman as Associate Professor of Chemistry. His honours include the Best Research Group Award, Rector commendation for publications in high-impact journals, the Best Research Paper Award, the National Research Award, and a Senior Research Fellowship (Organic Chemistry). He is a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC), United Kingdom and serves as an Editorial Board Member of various scientific journals. His research focuses on synthetic organic/organometallic chemistry, aiming to develop functional compounds/materials.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India (Nov. 2008-2014)


Master of Science (MSc) in Industrial Chemistry from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India (2006-2008)


Bachelor of Science (BSc) Chemistry (Hons.) Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India (2003-2006)

My research interests are at the interface of synthetic organic/organometallic chemistry, materials and computational drug discovery. Currently, we aim to design and develop new biologically active compounds or materials for healthcare and energy conversion. For further details and collaboration opportunities, feel free to contact me at ashanul.haque@asu.edu.om
