Short Biography:
I hold B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.S. degrees in Geology from the Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7, followed by an M.S. and D.Sc. in Seismology from the Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Kyoto Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম. At Kyoto Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম, I was affiliated with the Research Center for Earthquake Hazards (EQHZ) of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI).
I have been affiliated as a faculty member of the Department of Geology and Mining, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Barishal, since 2016. My research focuses on both onshore and offshore seismology, with current work centered on subsurface imaging in onshore Bangladesh and offshore Japan, as well as seismic hazard assessment across Bangladesh. I analyze ambient noise and earthquake records to conduct HVSR measurements, seismic tomography, imaging of subsurface structures, and assessments of site amplification. I also supervise M.S. students and welcome those with a strong interest in seismology to join my research group.
I am committed to advancing seismological research in Bangladesh and fostering the next generation of geoscientists.
