What I'm looking for

I seek research roles using mixed methods and survey-based data to inform policy; prefer collaborative teams, fieldwork opportunities, and scope for methodological growth and stakeholder engagement.

I am a research-focused economist with hands-on expertise in survey design, mixed-methods analysis, and data management, developed through multiple research roles at BRAC University's Center for Entrepreneurship Development. I bring strong technical skills in STATA, Python, SQL and ODK/SurveyCTO/Kobo to design instruments, program surveys, and manage field operations.

My work includes leading literature reviews, transcription/translation, sampling, data cleaning, validation, and reporting for projects funded by international partners such as Cornell, IGC, DANIDA, GIZ and Laudes Foundation. I have contributed to publications, conference presentations, and media pieces on topics such as renewable energy adoption, decarbonization, tariff impacts, and labor conditions in Bangladesh's RMG sector.

I am organized, collaborative, and experienced training enumerators and coordinating stakeholder engagement through workshops and dissemination activities. I seek roles where I can apply rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods to inform policy and program design and scale evidence-based interventions.
