If God, for a second, forgot what I have become and granted me a little bit more of life, I would use it to the best of my ability. I wouldn't, possibly, say everything that is in my mind, but I would be more thoughtful of all I say. I would give merit to things not for what they are worth, but for what they mean to express.

I have been experienced majorly in GIS, Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry and its applications in water and environment, but I don't like it as much as I should do.

Currently I am a faculty member (Assistant Professor) of the department of Urban and Regional Planning (URP), Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET), Khulna-9203, Bangladesh.

Previously, I was employed as GIS and RS Specialist in Institute of Water Modelling (IWM). I was an Adjunct Faculty of the Public Health Department under Faculty of Science & Engineering, ASA University Bangladesh (ASAUB) as well.

I did my post graduation in Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka in 2012, where my research topic was "A Study on Land Use Policies of Khulna Structure Plan 2000-2020 in the Light of Climate Change Induced Flood Scenario". I am graduated also in Urban and Regional Planning (BURP) in the same department from the same university in 2007 with having research titled as "Localization of Socio-economic Facilities of Narsingdi District: An Approach to Regional Growth Analysis".

I have more than 6 years of professional experience in the field of Urban Planning, GIS & Remote Sensing, and climate change. I started my career as GIS analyst at Golden Harvest Scankort GIS Ltd. in 2007 and later on I joined in Autodesk Bangladesh: Win-Win Infosys Ltd. as instructor of AutoCAD Map 3D & Civil 3D in the same year. Afterward I switched to Data Experts (Pvt.) Limited (datEx) in 2008 and was involved as Assistant Urban Planner & GIS Specialist in two large projects viz. Detail Area Plan (DAP) followed by Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan (DMDP) for Dhaka Metropolitan City & Pourashava Master Plan (a project of LGED) for 2 years. I joined IWM in November, 2009 as Junior GIS and Remote Sensing Specialist.

Specialties:
