Research Summary

I am aspiring to be a researcher to improve the resilience of vulnerable communities to the impact of natural hazards and climate change. I am interested in research on social vulnerability, gender dynamics, GIScience, and disaster risk management.

Previously I completed my undergrad and masters in Disaster Science and Management from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. During this time, I worked with the coastal and communities of Bangladesh on their disaster resilience and adaptation method to climate change.
