As-salamu 'Alaikum Wa-ra'hmatullah,

I study social problems, particularly those affecting vulnerable and marginalized populations in Bangladesh. I aim to inspire young sociologists to develop research-based solutions to pressing social issues while collaborating with other scholars and policymakers to address these challenges.

I have published several articles and a book chapter in well-known journals and publishing houses. My interest in understanding social issues has contributed to my success in achieving excellent grades in both my undergraduate and postgraduate theses.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Science (BSS Hons.) in Sociology from Khulna University, where I achieved the highest CGPA in my batch. I then completed my Master of Social Science (MSS) in Sociology from the same university, graduating with the second-highest CGPA.

In 2025, I joined the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) as a lecturer in the Department of Sociology. I aspire to dedicate my career to teaching and researching social problems to create a positive impact.
