Sk. Tanvir Hossain

I am a final-year doctoral student in the Business and Economics Department at Technical University of Dortmund (TU Dortmund) under the supervision of Professor Carsten Jentsch. I have been also an adjunct lecturer in the Department of Economics at the East West University, Bangladesh. From 2018 to 2022, I worked as a research associate (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) in the Department of Statistics at TU Dortmund (alumni page), and I gratefully acknowledge all their support and guidance during this period.

I obtained an M.Sc. in Economics from the University of Mannheim, Germany and a Bachelor’s degree in Business with a second major in Economics from BRAC University, Bangladesh. After finishing my Bachelors I worked as a project assistant at the Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) in Bangladesh, on a project titled Building management hierarchies for growth in LICs: understanding the role of supervisor training in Bangladeshi garment sector, led by Professor Christopher Woodruff (Oxford), Professor Rocco Macchiavello (LSE), and Professor Atonu Rabbani (Dhaka University) as Principal Investigators.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Causal Inference, Econometrics, and Machine Learning. In my dissertation, I focus on sequential policy learning (a.k.a. bandit algorithms), both theoretical and applied perspectives.

Throughtout my academic career I have been blessed to have many amazing teachers and mentors without whom I would not have reached where I am today. Their guidance, wisdom, and encouragement have been instrumental in my life. I am also grateful to my family and friends who have always been there for me. I enjoy coding and I love to learn new things. You can find my CV in pdf here, more about what courses I taught as well as some course materials in the in the teaching page and papers / projects I am currently working in the research page.
