A PhD researcher at Curtin University and an economist and educator with 10 years of experience in academia, government administration, and research. Expertise in designing and conducting mixed-method research, including in-depth interviews, thematic analysis, and narrative coding, to advanced statistical methods (SPSS, R) applied to large datasets (e.g., socioeconomic surveys) and small-scale case studies.My work has been published in a prominent peer-reviewed journal, with a focus on quantitative methodology. As a Faculty in Economics, I am experienced in teaching undergraduate and graduate-level economics courses, mentoring and supervising students, collaborating on curriculum and policy development, and strategic educational management. I was awarded the prestigious Prime Minister’s Fellowship of Bangladesh for the Master’s program at the University of Aberdeen, UK. Moreover, my diverse academic trajectory and extensive career in Bangladesh's complex and ambiguous context have equipped me with leadership, teamwork, problem solving, research, cross-cultural communication, and other personable skills.
