  I have a multidisciplinary educational background (Ph.D. in Geography and Environmental Studies from University of Waterloo-Wilfrid Laurier University Graduate programs in Geography

  have a Masters degree in Natural Resource Management Degree from NRI

  University of Manitoba

  Canada and an M.Sc in Zoology

  Jahangirnagar University). My overall research interests include human dimensions of resource governance

  public participation

  natural resource governance policy

  Indigenous and local ecological knowledge

  networks/social capitals and social-ecological resilience. I have more than 12 years of work experience as a biologist/ecologist and natural resources management professional in Canada and Southeast Asia. I worked for both government organizations and consulting firms and dealt with fisheries

  forestry

  waters

  and mining programs. Taught Indigenous land management course at the University of Saskatchewan. I have a single-authored book on fisheries biology

  16 peer-reviewed papers on the issues of the local and aboriginal knowledge system

  public participation

  local empowerment

  informal rules and regulation in fisheries

  leadership and social-ecological resilience. My upcoming papers are on a review of community-based monitoring projects (issues and challenge)

  evaluation of Arctic wild harvests in a changing climate

  beliefs and respects of Indigenous Nations to caribou

  influences of local and international conventions on traditional knowledge application etc.

  Supported stormwater management programs. Helped preparing database on property features (non-porous surfaces) affecting storm waters and related flooding. Reviewed water quality related reports on Grand River Watershed and identify linkages or water pollution from point and non-point sources. Helped preparing articles (news/blogs) on water quality issues and related impacts on fisheries and ecosystems.

  For my new position as a postdoctoral fellow with University of Saskatchewan and Ministry of Environment Saskatchewan

  I will be dealing with integrating scientific knowledge (Radio-telemetry and geospatial modeling) with aboriginal knowledge systems to support woodland caribou recovery at Northern Saskatchewan Zone of the boreal forest. This program will also include public engagement in assessing and defining caribou range

  identifying disturbance patterns (Forest fire and anthropocentric) affecting the boreal landscapes to support range planning process towards the recovery of woodland caribou.

  •Helped developing interactive maps of Atikokan area in connection with three huge mine pits

  measured impacts on seine river watershed associated with various anthropogenic stressors such as urban and agricultural land uses and human population.\n•Helped in gathering historical data on rainfalls

  snow covers and temperatures and performed related analyses to understand trends of temperature changes and relationships with rainfalls and flow increase in seine river and related watersheds.\n•Performed tasks related to ecological assessment (experimental netting/trapping of fish and marsh bird monitoring for wetland evaluation) and biomonitoring of pit lakes.\n•Organized community meeting for agro-forestry development in pyrite reach areas.\n•Identified scope of developing fisheries for tourism development in pit lakes for incomes generation of local aboriginal groups at Atikokan

  Thunder Bay

  ON.\n•Worked with team of engineers and GIS experts for mapping/modeling of pyrite rich areas

  tailing deposits and assessed the impacts of pyrites in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems using GIS.\n•Used LiDAR aided data in GIS environment for assessing pit filling rates and water level increase.\nFindings from such analysis were used in decision making process concerning rehabilitation of iron mines and risk assessment in the case of spill overs of pit lakes.
