About Me

I am an enthusiastic geospatial researcher currently pursuing the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s (EMJM) program, Copernicus Master in Digital Earth. My studies focus on Earth observation, geoinformation, and geovisualization. I am currently at Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic, specializing in Geovisualization and Geocommunication, and have completed my first year at Paris-Lodron University of Salzburg, Austria, where I focused on Earth Observation and Geoinformatics. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET), which provided a strong foundation in spatial data analysis and sustainable urban planning. I have hands-on experience in geospatial projects, working with ArcGIS Pro and QGIS to analyze spatial data and develop solutions for complex urban and environmental challenges
