Education
B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, BAUET, 2023.
Starting as a student
I began learning astronomy largely through freely available books, lectures, problem sets, and online resources. Science competitions gave that self-study a structure. I represented Bangladesh at IOAA 2016 and later at IESO 2017, where I received a Bronze medal as a participant.
From participant to trainer
In 2018 I became involved in building the Bangladesh Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (BDOAA), serving as an academic coordinator, coach, and Bangladesh Team Leader. Teaching Olympiad students became an important part of how I learned to explain technical astronomy clearly and systematically.
Research and scientific work
My research experience developed alongside that educational work. LEAPS 2020 introduced me to high-resolution exoplanet spectroscopy. I later worked on strong gravitational lensing and the internal structure of massive elliptical galaxies, and that project culminated in an Astronomy & Astrophysics publication in 2025. In 2024 I joined CASSUM as a Research Fellow, working on exoplanet atmospheric modeling and synthetic observations. My current work also includes astronomy-education research and Olympiad knowledge graphs.
These areas may look different, but they are connected by the same interests: observation, quantitative reasoning, scientific modeling, and making astronomy easier to learn without removing the mathematics and physics.
