Monir has a BSc (Hons) degree in Chemistry and an MSc in Organic Chemistry both from Dhaka University. He obtained his PhD in Polymer Chemistry from the Chemistry Department at the University of Sheffield for his work on the synthesis and characterisation of block copolymers of styrene and dienes. Monir worked as postdoctoral research fellow in the Materials Department at the University of Oxford prior to joining Cranfield University as a Senior Research Fellow in 2002. He has been made Lecturer in Explosive Chemistry in 2015. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Monir's research focuses on: Synthesis and characterisation of smart materials and polymers Self-healing and toughened composites Non-destructive life assessment of munitions Novel propellants, binders and curing agents Nitrocellulose (NC) properties and vulnerability of NC-based propellants Detection of explosives and narcotics using colour sensors Polymer structure-properties relationships.
