Biography

I am an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Oceanography at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST). I did my PhD in Biology from Jacobs University Bremen, Germany. My doctoral research focused on evaluating long-term trends in plankton communities. In addition, I completed a postgraduate degree in Observational Oceanography from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Germany. I did my BSc and MS in Marine Science from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Before joining SUST, I worked as a researcher at AWI and worked as a visiting researcher at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria. My research interests include coastal ecosystem monitoring and conservation, marine ecology, ecological modeling, time series data analysis, and the application of numerical and statistical methods to understand marine ecosystems better. I am also interested in developing oceanographic services that directly benefit local communities. In my research, I utilize diverse types of monitoring strategies (e.g. modeling, field-based sampling, citizen science, and remote sensing) to gather comprehensive data from marine ecosystems. I apply advanced statistical and numerical models to derive meaningful insights about the coastal and marine ecosystem by analyzing complex and heterogeneous data collected from different types of monitoring platforms. One key aspect of my activities is to translate the research findings into actionable policy recommendations that support sustainable coastal and marine resource management. I am highly committed to capacity-building and outreach activities in marine science.
