Currently I am completing my doctoral studies in the faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). My area of research relates to the risk assessment and management of marine emergency logistics operation in remote harsh environment. I did a master of engineering degree at MUN (2014) and a bachelor degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2009. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked several months as a Naval Architect and later I served as a lecturer for two years at the Accident Research Institute of BUET. During my graduate program, I also did internships with Virtual Marine and C-CORE.

Research interests

Risk analysis of offshore systems, Probabilistic methods, Dynamic positioning
