Profile

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Japanese Studies at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I commenced my PhD at the University of Leeds in February 2025 under the supervision of Professor Jouni Paavola and Dr Monica Di Gregorio. My doctoral research, "Japan's Climate Change Governance Cooperation with Bangladesh and its Geopolitical Implications", explores how climate governance, development cooperation, and geopolitical interests intersect within Japan-Bangladesh relations.

I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in Political Science from the University of Dhaka. Subsequently, I completed a short course on Japanese Business and Economy and Contemporary Japan at Sophia University in Tokyo as a Japan Foundation Fellow. My teaching and research experience extends over a decade and includes positions at the University of Dhaka, Jagannath University, Brac University, Bangladesh Open University, and the Dhaka School of Economics. Additionally, I have served as a resource person and trainer at the National Academy for Planning and Development, the Bangladesh Ansar Academy, and Bangladesh Television. I have also collaborated with the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, Mitsubishi Corporation, the Japan External Trade Organisation, and the Pan-Asia Research Institute.
