I was born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Before joining the Public Policy PhD program in OSU in Winter 2021, I worked as a lecturer of Global Studies and Governance (GSG) in the Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB). I have completed my undergrad studies in International Relations from the University of Dhaka. I have also completed my MSc degree in Development Practice from the Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. During the MSc program, I was receiver of MacArthur MDP Fellowship. Also, I interned with United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN-ESCWA) and National University of Rwanda (NUR) as a partial fulfillment of the MSc program. Before joining the IUB, I worked as a Research Manager of the Bangladesh Peace Observatory (BPO) project at the Centre for Genocide Studies, University of Dhaka. From 2012 -17, I worked with UNDP, Population Council, USAID, Trocaire, Save the Children, Plan International, Planning Commission Bangladesh, Family Planning Association of Bangladesh (FPAB), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), University of Guelph- Canada, IDS of University of Sussex-UK and BRAC University at various capacities. My intended research work would focus on renewable energy policy options and carbon footprint reduction plans.
