Profile: My primary research interest lies in agricultural and applied microeconomics issues, especially in poverty, inequality, nutrition, human development, education and labor market issues. I am also interested in experimental and quasi-experimental economics.

Qualifications: I completed my Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSS) and Masters of Social Sciences (MSS) in Economics respectively in 2014 and 2015 from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Then I joined the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) as Abu Abdullah Fellow in 2015. Finally, I have been working as a Research Associate at the BIDS since November 2015 and currently, I am on study leave.

Research interests

My thesis aims to analyze the factors associated with food security, nutrition, and wellbeing among households in a country where, despite considerable improvement and growth, child malnutrition is still high and recurrent natural disasters and other negative shocks affect livelihoods almost every year.
