Welcome to my website!

I am currently a central bank economist and applied researcher at Bangladesh Bank. In June 2024, I obtained a PhD in Economics from the School of Economics and Management at Wuhan University (China). I was the recipient of the MOFCOM Fellowship, funded by the Chinese government.

My research interests are monetary policy, the economics of climate change, climate demography, the labour market, climate risk and financial markets, and geopolitics.
