Since May 2018, Dr. Shah Md. Atiqul Haq have been serving as a professor of sociology (Grade 2 professor since May 2022) at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) in Bangladesh. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher with FNRS fellowship in the Institute of Demographic Research at the Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium) from October 2016 to October 2019. In 2013, he received PhD on the ‘Perception, extreme weather events (floods) and fertility preference: A study of a vulnerable population in Bangladesh’ from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) with full scholarship, Department of Asian and International Studies. He received the Outstanding Academic Performance Award (OAPA) three times consecutively for publishing research articles at CityU. He also received UGC Gold Medal from the University Grant Commission of Bangladesh and Vice Chancellor Award from SUST in recognition of the best research on how perceptions of climate change vary with sociodemographic dimensions. He earned bachelor in 2000 and master's degree in 2001 in social sciences (Sociology) from SUST in Bangladesh and two master's degrees in human ecology in 2009 and 2010 from the Free University of Brussels (VUB) with full scholarship from VLIR in Belgium.

Dr. Atiq has been conducting research and teaching higher education in the sociology department at SUST for nearly 20 years. The foundation he requires to successfully carry out his role in sociology research and teaching, particularly in climate change, extreme weather events, food security, human health, energy perceptions, urban green space perceptions, vulnerability, socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural aspects, has provided him with extensive training in sociology and mixed methods. He believes that his interdisciplinary experiences in collaboration and research agendas can also be better aligned with social and public policies in Bangladesh aimed at creating an equitable and resilient society, the main motto of the July 2024 revolution in Bangladesh, by addressing the impacts of climate change and promoting urban green space for food security and human health by leveraging his expertise as a sociologist, which will certainly add value to future efforts.

Dr. Atiq has a total of 50 publications (35 indexed in Web of Science; 36 indexed in Scopus) and has reviewed a total of 68 articles for 34 international journals and most of them are indexed in Web of Science. Most of his scientific publications are in leading international journals (Q1 and Q2) and they are highly cited (total citations: 1282 as of September 17, 2024 according to Google Scholar). The majority of his research has been published in the prestigious academic journals, including Lancet Planetary Health, Population and Environment, BMC Public Health, Sustainable Development, Water Resources Research, Weather, Climate and Society, Heliyon, Sustainable Development, Natural Hazards, Environment, Development and Sustainability, Regional Science, Policy and Practice, Frontiers in Psychology, Frontiers in Environmental Science, Humanities and Social Sciences Communication (Nature) and PLOS One.

Dr. Atiq also has extensive experience and publish research articles in collaborating with other researchers from University of Michigan, University of Colorado (Boulder), Georgetown University, Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), Shanghai University, University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign), Utah State University, University of Houston, University of Denmark, Free University of Brussels (Belgium), Arizona State University and the Ohio State University. In addition, he received award of 75000 Euro each year (Oct. 2016 - Oct. 2019) by National Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS) in Belgium to conduct research on the association between extreme weather events and fertility desires in Bangladesh. He also received several prestigious international fellowships including BIARI, Brown University (USA), Population Reference Bureau (USA), Population Association of America (USA), Jacobs Foundation (Switzerland), Global Development Network (GDN), International Sociological Association, Asian Population Association and IUSSP. In addition, the SUST research center in Bangladesh supported his research projects in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 to study various aspects of climate change and population dynamics. Dr. Atiq is also external expert for the evaluation of research proposals for the Erasmus+ program (ERASMUS+) 2021-2027”, Key Activity 2 ‘Capacity Building in Higher Education’ (CBHE), European Commission. He is also external member for evaluation of research grant proposals, postdoctoral and PhD applications for University of Malta, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain), University of Paris and PhD thesis evaluator for RMIT University (Australia).

Dr. Atiq joined nearly 20 international conferences and presented his research (Oral and Poster) in several countries, including the USA, Switzerland, Belgium, Turkey, Hong Kong, China, the UK, Belgium, Canada and South Africa. His collaborative research was recently presented at Harvard University's Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability. He also presented his research findings on climate change and population dynamics in Brown University, Shanghai University, Free University of Brussels, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, and Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium).

Dr. Atiq is also recognized by several international journals as Editor-in-Chief of Frontiers in Human Dynamics: Population, Environment and Development Section, International Editorial Board for Social Forces (Oxford Academic Press), Associate Editor for SN Social Science (Springer), PLOS One, PLOS Climate, Cogent Social Science (Taylor and Francis) and International Journal of Climate Change Strategy and Management. He is also a member of the American Population Association (USA), the International Sociological Association, the IUSSP, the European Population Association, the Asian Population Association and the International Association for Ecology.

Dr. Atiq has supervised over 100 undergraduate and graduate students, not only at SUST, Bangladesh, but also at CityU (Hong Kong) and UCL (Belgium). One of his most outstanding students, Khandaker Jafor Ahmed, is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan, USA, under the supervision of Professor Pamela Jagger, whose thesis advisor was Elinor Ostrom, winner of a Nobel Prize in Economics in 2009.

Dr. Atiq also has administrative and leadership experience at SUST, Bangladesh, notably as assistant proctor and adversary of several associations. He is also a member of the editorial board of SUST's social science journal. He has also been student representative for Asia at the VUB (Belgium), doctoral student representative for the Department of Asian and International Studies, and postdoctoral representative for the Institute of Demographic Research, UCL (Belgium). He has also been vice-president, editor and member of the Rotary Club of SUST, as well as a member of the SUST Tourism Club.

Dr Atiq loves travelling and sport. He has already traveled to 18 countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK, France, Belgium, Italy, Austria, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, China, the Netherlands, Macau, Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand, India and Singapore.
