Welcome!  

I'm a PhD Candidate of Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on International Development, Labor Market, Gender, and Health. I'm also interested in agricultural technology adaptation for smallholder farming. Besides, my interest includes machine learning and big data analytics.

I earned my M.S.S. and B.S.S. in Economics from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Prior to joining the PhD Program at the University of Illinois, I was a Research Analyst at the International Food Policy Research Institute. I have also worked at the Brac Institute of Governance and Development.  I was also a short-term consultant for the World Bank.  

In my free time, I enjoy traveling and being outside with my family and friends.
