Excited to share that my two abstracts have been accepted for the AGU Fall Meeting 2024! One is titled 'SY12B-04 Leveraging Machine Learning for Thunderstorm Prediction in the Northeastern (NE) Region of Bangladesh: Enhancing Community Preparedness with Advanced Location Detection Technology,' which will be presented as an oral session. The other is titled 'NH34B-01 How can crowdsourced social media data be used effectively during a disaster using Sentiment Analysis with TensorFlow: A case study of flash flood events in Bangladesh,' accepted as an eLightning presentation.  

From September 23 to 28, 2024, I attended a hackathon titled "Regional Workshop on Multi-Hazard Risk Modelling: Integrating Modelling, Visualization, and Regional Collaboration for Multi-Hazard Risks in the Hindu Kush Himalayas," organized by ICIMOD in Kathmandu, Nepal. This hackathon focused on discussing the types of hazard interactions in the HKH, including cascading, compounding, and amplifying hazards. The goal of this hackathon was to propose a Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment (MHRA) framework, outline the purpose of multi-hazard (MH) modeling, and define a way forward with MHRA goals until 2025. 

A reconnaissance survey was conducted from June 1 to June 6 in Kalapara Upazila of Patuakhali District, Bangladesh. As a research associate, my duty was to identify the impacts of the cyclone on the rural infrastructure, assess the damage to the embankments, and examine how accessibility and inclusivity were hampered during this cyclone. 

Two sensors were placed in Tahirpur Upazila, Sunamganj, to measure water levels daily at 20-minute intervals. These sensors helped identify the probability of flash floods and introduced modern technology for disseminating early warning messages to the community. 

My poster on A Case Study of the Temporal Evaluation of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect: Impacts on Water Availability and Air Quality of Dhaka City was presented at the AGU Fall Meeting 2023.  

We visited Tahirpur Upazila in Sunamganj District to conduct FGDs, KIIs, and IDIs for the Community-led Early Actions (EAs) on Flash Flood Events in Northeastern Bangladesh project. The goal of this field trip was to understand people's concepts and perceptions regarding the Early Warning Message (EWM) and how they contextualize the early warning message. Furthermore, validating inundation mapping using Sentinel imagery was another goal of this trip 

I attended ICWFM 2023 as a first author and presented a paper titled 'RESOLVING THE TEESTA WATER SHARING CONFLICT BY APPLYING GAME THEORY.' I also participated as a volunteer during the conference and learned a lot of things
