His research focuses on infectious disease transmission, prevention, and control, integrating field epidemiology with deterministic compartmental modeling to assess climate change impacts on tropical diseases like dengue, tuberculosis, and hepatitis E.

Education:

• MBBS, Dhaka Medical College
• MPH (Epidemiology), National Institute of Preventive and Social Medicine (NIPSOM)
• PhD (Epidemiology), Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales

His work leverages linked health datasets and mathematical models to address policy-relevant questions about climate-driven disease dynamics, co-epidemics (e.g., tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus), and public health interventions. He received the ICDDR,B Infectious Diseases Research Fellowship (2011–2013) and an UNSW Scientia PhD scholarship (2019–2023) for his climate change and disease transmission research.

Scientific Awards:

• ICDDR,B Infectious Diseases Research Fellowship (2011 - 2013)

Grants:

• UNSW Scientia PhD scholarship (2019 - 2023) for climate change and tropical disease transmission research
