Statement of Interest, France
My academic experience and strength lie in data analysis, numerical analysis, and spatial analysis to extract
theoretical and field-based understanding of climate modeling. I have honed my skills the ability to think
critically and approach challenges from various angles is necessary when addressing complex questions
about groundwater quality and monitoring, fluvial process, floods, delta, drought, etc. During my
undergraduate study, I had exposure to working with spatial analysis, GPS, and different programming
languages including ArcGIS, Google Earth Engine, MATLAB, Python, etc. My master's thesis is titled
“Geomorphic Influence on the Flash Flood of the Transboundary Khowai River of Bangladesh”, which
allowed me to gain insights into the connections between extreme flood events and climate dynamics.
Besides, I carried out a project under BIRRI “Present and Future Precipitation Scenario of Bangladesh”.
That project assisted me in collaborating with big historical data and CMIP5 global climate models for
forecasting projected precipitation with Jupyter notebooks using advanced Python libraries. Currently, I am
enrolled as a “Junior Hydrologist” to study the project under the National River Conservation
Commission. My previous research experience provided valuable insights into the processes of surface and
groundwater development in response to changing climatic conditions and human activities.
IFPEN's reputation for cutting-edge research and innovative approaches to scientific challenges has long
been an inspiration to me. I am particularly drawn to the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of the
research environment at IFPEN, which I believe will provide the ideal platform for exploring the nuanced
dynamics of hidden water and landscape erosion.
I am enthusiastic about the possibility of joining the esteemed team at IFPEN and contributing to the
forefront of research on hidden water and landscape erosion.
Sincerely,
