About Me
About Me
"At the edge of uncertainty and persistence, innovation is born; and beyond certainty lies research — a journey fueled by curiosity."
My identity as an urban planner is built on a strong foundation of rigorous research, hands-on experience, and active engagement within the broader university community. I believe that technical expertise is most effective when complemented by teamwork, management skills, and a well-rounded perspective.
In my recent research projects, I have addressed issues related to land-use changes across diverse geographies, including major cities in Bangladesh, Canada, and the USA. To date, I have contributed to over 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles as both lead and co-author. These publications appear in prestigious journals such as Elsevier, Springer, ASCE, Taylor & Francis, IEEE, and MDPI, covering topics including land-cover change, urban land surface temperature anomalies, climate-induced air pollution, environmental degradation, and sustainability.
As a research assistant at the Climate Change and Poverty (CCP) Lab, I have actively contributed to projects focused on climate resilience and collaborated with key stakeholders. I have also presented my work at several international conferences, showcasing my research on sustainability and the urban implications of climate change to global scientific communities.
Beyond research, I am a dedicated volunteer committed to serving communities for various causes. During my undergraduate studies, I participated in outreach programs advocating environmental protection and promoting climate resilience frameworks in coastal communities. Additionally, I actively mentor senior-level undergraduate students in environmental research and provide advisory support to local city councils and boards of governors.
