RESEARCH INTEREST AND FUTURE PLAN

Research interest includes area of Ecology and Environmental Issues. However, I have more than five years of research experience in the areas of Molecular Biology and four years in the field of Landscape Ecology and Landscape Planning. My recent research goal is to develop a methodology for the regional evaluation criteria for sustainable planning of natural resources. I have proposed a new theme in this regard the Regional Index of Ecological Integrity (RIEI) and now trying to experiment a real life example in the regional scale, particularly in tropical region. My future research plan is to develop a comprehensive approach for the regional sustainable management framework which will include geological, lithological and ecological sciences using modern techniques like GIS, Remote Sensing and highly sophisticated Airborne Data Technologies.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP

1. I have been holding Membership and Research Affiliation with Bangladesh Botanical Society, Bangladesh (since 1996).

2. I have been holding Membership and Research Affiliation with Biodiversity Research Group, Bangladesh (since 2002).

3. Holding membership of Conservation International (since 2008).

4. Holding membership of European Facility for Airborne Research (since April 2010).
