I completed both my Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning (BURP) and Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) degrees from the same university, graduating first in merit position in both programs. During my master’s research, I developed an integrated vulnerability assessment framework to evaluate flash flood risks in coastal districts of Bangladesh, which was later published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information. This study formed the foundation for my broader interest in combining environmental modelling, spatial analysis, and policy design to strengthen climate resilience.

My research contributions span across peer-reviewed journals and international conferences. I have authored and co-authored several scientific papers.

Beyond publication, I contribute to the academic community as a reviewer for multiple international journals published by Springer Nature and Elsevier, including Environmental Earth Sciences, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, Discover Geoscience, Discover Environment, and Journal of Coastal Conservation. These roles allow me to stay engaged with cutting-edge research in environmental science, urban sustainability, and hazard assessment.

Throughout my academic journey, I’ve received several honors and awards, including the University Grants Commission (UGC) Merit Scholarship (2022) for securing the top position in CUET’s Faculty of Architecture and Planning, multiple University Merit Scholarships, and the Best Student Award from the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2023. I’m also an Associate Member of the Bangladesh Institute of Planners (BIP) and an active member of the CUET Teachers Association.

Over the years, I’ve pursued numerous international training programs and professional certifications to deepen my expertise in GIS, sustainability, and data science. Notably, I completed courses from institutions such as NASA’s ARSET, the University of Toronto, Johns Hopkins University, University of Michigan, and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). These specialized trainings strengthened my ability to integrate satellite-derived insights into urban planning, environmental modelling, and climate impact assessment.

In addition to teaching and research, I enjoy mentoring students, conducting technical workshops, and collaborating across disciplines to promote data-driven, sustainable urban solutions. My ongoing work continues to focus on integrating multi-sensor satellite data, machine learning models, and participatory approaches to improve decision-making in disaster-prone and rapidly urbanizing regions of Bangladesh.
