I hold the position of Associate Professor at the Department of Risk and Disaster Reduction (RDR) at University College London (UCL). My research experience spans across disaster risk reduction (DRR), conflict and migration, climate change adaptation, genocide diplomacy, community vulnerability assessment, climate mobility, and disaster displacement. I specialise in the intersection of conflict and disaster, with a vision to improve the quality of life of displaced persons and stateless populations. I am driven by a passion for collaborating with frontline communities, aiming to understand their challenges comprehensively and develop actionable policy recommendations to meet their specific needs.
My academic journey led me to earn a PhD in Disaster Risk Reduction from UCL, a joint Master of Science degree in Geospatial Technologies from universities in Spain, Germany, and Portugal, and a Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning degree from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
