I dream to be in the leading edge at academic field as well as in development practices through research and program initiatives. Currently I am a PhD student in Asean Institute for Health Development, AIHD, Mahidol University, Salaya, Thailand, and working as an assistant professor in dept. of Anthropology, Comilla University, Comilla, Bangladesh. Along with teaching; i am contributing in various development research projects as consultant with different national and international organizations. I am also experienced to work with well-reputed national or international organizations (icddr,b, PKSF, CIPRB, Plan international, and BRAC, RED) as full time professional. I prefer to work in a favorable environment with challenge and creativity and contribute in national development from my level through innovative ideas and research initiatives. My core areas of works are teaching, research (health and health related issues), training, monitoring and evaluation, report writing and documentation, program design, planning and management.
