His research interests include advanced agrochemicals, nanotechnology and environmental sustainability. Nasif is currently (2024) the president of the Bangladesh Students Association of Newcastle University, and an active member of the Hunter Community Alliance (HCA). 
Nasif delves into his fascinating work on nanopesticides, explaining how tiny particles can revolutionise agricultural practices and environmental conservation. He also unpacks the complex world of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), sharing his findings from his master's research in Bangladesh that challenge widely held beliefs about GMOs.
The discussion further explores the implications of GMOs on health, the environment, and global food security, as well as the political and economic dimensions of agricultural science. Nasif and Dr. T also touch on the importance of public awareness and regulatory measures in navigating the intricate landscape of modern agriculture.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and real-world applications, offering valuable perspectives for both scholars and the general public.
