Masters of Social Sciences (MSS), Department of Economics, University of Dhaka, 2010

Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSS), Department of Economics, University of Dhaka, 2009

I am an economist, researcher, and academic specializing in public policy, macroeconomic planning, and debt sustainability analysis. I earned both my Bachelor and Master of Social Sciences in Economics from the University of Dhaka.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at East West University in Dhaka. Beyond the classroom, I have been privileged to contribute to Bangladesh's national developmental frameworks. I have worked under prominent economists to help draft key sections of the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100, focusing on maintaining macroeconomic stability amid environmental degradation. Additionally, I collaborated with the Policy Research Institute (PRI) to help formulate the government’s Perspective Plan (2020–2041), which aims to transition our nation into a knowledge-based, industrialized economy.

As an active researcher, my co-authored studies focus on crucial regional issues, including financial inclusion, tax revenue forecasting.
