Biography

As-salamu 'Alaikum Wa-ra'hmatullah,I study social problems, particularly those affecting vulnerable and marginalized populations in Bangladesh. I aim to inspire young sociologists to develop research-based solutions to pressing social issues while collaborating with other scholars and policymakers to address these challenges.I have published several articles and a book chapter in well-known journals and publishing houses. My interest in understanding social issues has contributed to my success in achieving excellent grades in both my undergraduate and postgraduate theses.I earned my Bachelor of Social Science (BSS Hons.) in Sociology from Khulna University, where I achieved the highest CGPA in my batch. I then completed my Master of Social Science (MSS) in Sociology from the same university, graduating with the second-highest CGPA.In 2025, I joined the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) as a lecturer in the Department of Sociology. I aspire to dedicate my career to teaching and researching social problems to create a positive impact.
