My Background

Thank you for visiting my profile!

When it comes to writing about myself, I am always bewildered. So I express more about myself in person. I've recently completed my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering

I'm a motivated student who primarily has a keen interest in Astronomy and Astrophysics but I take occasional interest in Arts and filmmaking. Since high school, I've been participating in different art/science contests and the Astronomy Olympiad had a major impact on me. I've participated in two different international olympiads as a student (i.e. IOAA 2016 and IESO 2017). Since 2018, I've been working at the Bangladesh Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (BDOAA) as an academic coordinator and coach. I was the youngest team leader of the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA), 2018 on behalf of Bangladesh (2018-2023, 6 years) among experienced Astronomers and educators from more than 50 countries. This experience has curated my skills in leadership, science communication, travel, and expert student coach. Which has further helped me in my personal life.

I've been learning Astronomy and Astrophysics [initially] all by myself [thanks to each and every Astronomy educator who had free materials available online] and now I am mentoring hundreds of students on Astronomy basics. I want to pursue my Master's/PhD degree in Astrophysics where my special interest is in Observational Astrophysics/Lensing Cosmology. Currently, I am doing research on Gravitational Lensing with the BDLensing group. Formerly I completed an internship on the Exoplanetary environment with high-resolution spectroscopic data with LEAPS-2020. Since 2020, I’ve dedicated my time to writing a textbook on Fundamentals of Astronomy focused on Olympiads in our native language which is set to be released this year (2023). I'll spend my summer in another prestigious summer fellowship at Calmers University of Science and Technology [2024]

I am also interested in popularizing science education and contributing to the improvement of research quality in Bangladesh and am engaged with different organizations and activities alongside studies for that reason. A glimpse of my work is provided in the following sections of this page.
