Bio

Welcome to my website. I feel proud to be one of the faculty members of URP Department, KUET. I believe that none is born with everything she/he requires for survival in a competitive world of the modern age. So, I believe in a continuous pursuit of self-development through hard working and cooperation in an inter-dependent atmosphere of mutual respect. Currently I am on study leave for pursuing my Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme in the Faculty of Built Environment, University of Malaya, Malaysia. I have been awarded Bangabandhu Science and Technology Fellowship, 2021-2022 by Bangabandhu Science and Technology Fellowship Trust, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh in this regard. Thanks for visiting my personal page.
