Visiting Senior Fellow, Grantham Institure, LSE

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 effects on households and the efficacy of social protection policies in the context of climate change.

​

My work contributes to;

  • advancing knowledge on socioeconomic impacts of climate change

  • identifying hotspots and vulnerable population

  • supporting the design of tailored policies to mitigate and adapt to climate impacts   

 

I lead the ISIMIP labour impacts sector examining the effects of climate and weather shocks on the labour force and contribute to the globalEuropeanLatin American, and SIDS Lancet Countdown reports.

​

Teaching is a passion! I teach statistics, economics, and econometrics courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

​

I am a voracious reader (I read almost anything) and an amateur photographer. I took the background picture on this page - Canal Grande from Rialto bridge!

​

I love traveling with my wife and our little daughter! Currently, we are making our way through northern Italy - one small town at a time. 

​

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