I graduated as a civil engineer in 2014; majoring in environmental engineering. Thereafter, used the findings of my BSc thesis to implement a water treatment project in rural Bangladesh - one which drew national media attention, making me and my team overnight celebrities. In 2015, I completed my training of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps under Fmr. US Vice President and Nobel Prize winner, Al Gore, and since started working as a Climate Leader; presenting hard facts and evidences on climate change in various national and international forums. Later that year, I started working as a researcher at the Institute of Water & Flood Management, Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology in a multinational collaborative research project (ESPA Deltas Project), which focuses on the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta - the largest river delta in the world. In August 2015, I was invited to work as a youth coordinator for the 4th Asia Youth Summit held in Japan. Apart from having numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications, I have also written many newspaper and blog articles, and made the occasional appearance in national television. I have also conducted seven workshops in rural Bangladesh as a part of the research project I am working on. On October 2016, I was awarded my MSc degree in Water Resources Development. And most recently, I participated in the Youth Global Forum 2016 in Indonesia.
This maybe a summary, however I believe I have many stories to share, especially from Bangladesh - a land of hope and dreams.
