Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in theDepartment of Environmental Science at Bangladesh University of Professionals(BUP). My research focuses on water security and sustainable water management,with additional interests in environmental pollution monitoring, riskassessment, and management. I combine field-based monitoring and modellingapproaches to address water security challenges, contaminant dynamics, andmanagement issues in climate-vulnerable settings.
