About Me
I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Soil, Water and Environment from the University of Dhaka and started my master's there. Later, driven by a growing interest in the resources sector, I transitioned into Mineral Processing for my Master’s studies at the University of Oulu in Finland. After graduating, I initially enrolled in a PhD program in Mineral Processing, but later decided to move into the industry to gain practical experience. Since then, I have been working in the minerals and metals sector as a Metallurgist, focusing on mineral processing operations and metallurgical process development. My academic and professional journey reflects a transition across disciplines and countries, and I would love sharing my experience with students who are considering studying and building careers abroad.
