Biography

My research is in the field of Global Change Biology, in which I seek to understand the intricate, dynamic, and interactive components of ecosystem responses in the face of various environmental challenges. With a profound interest in conservation, sustainability, and forest ecology, my research experiences include projects on orchid diversity, participatory plantation strategies, and assessing disturbances caused by eco-tourism, especially in tropical biomes. Holding a Master’s degree in Climate Change and Development, I have a comprehensive academic background in diverse subjects such as disaster management, health impact, and GIS techniques. Furthermore, I bring invaluable practical insights from my role as an Assistant Manager at Duncan Brothers Bangladesh Limited (Camellia PLC, UK), where I oversaw all aspects of tea and rubber cultivation, including seedling management, pest control, and overall tea growing landscape. My diverse skill set positions me as a versatile researcher poised to contribute meaningfully to the field of Global Change Biology.
