Message

At Bangladesh High Commission in the United Kingdom, I advance Bangladesh’s bilateral relations through policy dialogues and institutional collaboration. My portfolio includes liaison with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, educational affairs, and partnerships between universities and academic institutions in both countries.

I also monitor climate change–related initiatives and support digital innovation within the High Commission to strengthen efficiency, transparency, and service delivery. Earlier, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh, I drafted policy decisions on Bangladesh’s engagement with the UN and its response to the Rohingya crisis.

At Yale University, I taught undergraduates Stata and led discussions in international security, international development, and applied quantitative analysis. Before that, I lectured in computer science and engineering at BRAC University, building on my computer science background.
