Raised amidst the rural landscapes of Bangladesh, I was firsthand witness to the raw forces of nature: cyclones sculpting the land, droughts challenging life, and the ever-changing coastal dynamics. These early encounters not only sharpened my senses but also seeded a deep-rooted passion for environmental and geospatial sciences. My academic journey, a blend of curiosity and determination, began with a Bachelor's degree in Geology, laying the groundwork for my understanding of Earth's complex processes. It was during this period that my path intersected with remote sensing and GIS, a rendezvous that culminated in my first journal publication and set the stage for a lifelong engagement with remote sensing technologies.
Further pursuing my thirst for knowledge, I embarked on a Master of Science in Water Resources Development at the esteemed IWFM, BUET. My thesis, a pioneering effort in index-based water mapping using Sentinel-2 imageries, not only fortified my expertise but also earned recognition at the 9th ICWFM conference. In the professional realm, I have applied my skills in diverse projects—from enhancing agricultural water security for rural communities under the KGF project to analyzing river erosion patterns for a JICA initiative. Each role, whether it involved mapping flood risks or creating erosion hazard maps, reinforced my commitment to leveraging geospatial technologies for sustainable development.
My journey, from a young observer of nature's might to a specialist in geospatial analysis, embodies a blend of passion, resilience, and a quest for solutions that protect our planet and its inhabitants.
