About Me
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 also been a lecturer at the Department of Economics, 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.
I am passionate about teaching statistics, econometrics, and programming. I love coding and theories related to different topics, and I want my students to love them too… but that doesn’t always happen. You can find some of my CV here, and some of the past teaching materials here
