Overview

I have extensive research experience in the fields of social science and environmental management. My PhD study included measuring indicators of social science in relation to environmental planning with inclusion of disadvantaged groups of the community to develop policies. As a human geographer and academic with teaching portfolio and Government service experience, I am interested to contribute to teaching/ mentoring and research in the fields of environmental management, environmental humanities and international studies and producing quality reports and articles for wider dissemination.

"I am passionate about research on climate change impacts on human society especially loss and damage of climate change, its relationship with local and global development. I am originally from Bangladesh and I have extensive research experience in Bangladesh and South Asia and Australia on climate change impacts and adaption. "
