Experienced Doctoral Researcher specializing in deterministic and stochastic mathematical modeling with a focus on applications to epidemiology with plans to defend Ph.D. dissertation in August 2024.
Ultimate research goal is to enhance our predictive, management, and mitigation capabilities for disease outbreaks, contributing to improved public health and resilient societies.
Proficient in handling and transforming data using tools like SQL, Python, and R, I excel in cleaning, preprocessing, and organizing datasets to extract meaningful insights from large datasets.
Apart from technical proficiency, possesses strong abilities in delivering presentations and effectively communicating findings to a broad spectrum of audiences.
Be it the internship at Dutch Bangla Bank LTD (DBBL) or be it the mentoring opportunity for National Science Foundation (NSF), professional growth has been significantly enhanced by valuable experiences gained in working collaboratively within multicultural teams over the years.
Strategic thought leader known for strong work ethic and proactive approach as demonstrated by 5 years in non-profit work in Volunteer for Bangladesh and Rotary International.
As a strategic thinker and creative problem solver, finds great satisfaction in engaging in collaborative efforts and fostering effective teamwork.
