Welcome
Welcome
I am a Ph.D. student and Graduate Research Assistant in Industrial and Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University. My research interests include supply chain analytics, operations research, optimization, decision analysis, logistics, sustainable systems, and data-driven industrial decision-making.
I am also affiliated with the Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein at NC State. My academic and professional background spans research, university teaching, and industrial engineering practice, with experience in sustainable supply chains, manufacturing systems, multi-criteria decision-making, and applied analytics.
Before joining NC State, I completed a Master of Engineering in Advanced Engineering Management at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering at Bangladesh University of Textiles.
I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary research that connects quantitative methods with practical sustainability and operational challenges.
