I am an aspirant architect, currently exploring the field of academia as a research academic associate in a Design and Architecture University, India. After my graduation in 2014, I have consciously chosen my field of work to pursue diversity by exploring different contexts and architectural practices in Bangladesh and India. My current goal is to explore architecture and research combined with design thinking to overcome contemporary urban challenges. I aim to have an impactful career in Urban planning with the possibility to collaborate in the development sector.
