Originally from Bangladesh, I studied in the US before moving to Italy for my PhD. My research investigates the impacts of climate change on labour, food security, inequality, and human health using applied econometrics. I am particularly interested in the efficacy of social protection policies in the context of climate change.

 

I am a Lead Author for Chapter 5 (Enablers and barriers) of the IPCC AR7 WGIII. I lead the ISIMIP labour impacts sector and am an author of the Global, Europe, and SIDS reports of the Lancet Countdown on climate change and health. I was one of the 78 experts convened by UNFCCC to assist the UAE-Belém programme in developing indicators for measuring progress towards the Global Goal on Adaptation, focusing on food and health indicators.

 

Teaching is a passion! I teach statistics, economics, and econometrics at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I am a voracious reader (I read almost anything) and an amateur photographer, and I love traveling with my wife and our little daughter through northern Italy, one small town at a time.

 

I am always looking to collaborate! If you are interested, please contact me.
