Graduate Researcher under the supervision of Dr. Mohammad Sujauddin, Associate Professor and Chair, ESM, NSU | Duration: 2022–Present.Master’s Thesis: “Status Quo of Circularity in Bangladesh's Textile Industry through the Paradigm of Economy-Wide Material Flow Analysis of Textile Fibers”
My research applies Economy-Wide Material Flow Analysis (EW-MFA) to assess textile material flows and circularity in Bangladesh’s textile industry. I develop a national textile material flow model to quantify textile fiber flows, stocks, and waste, identifying critical points of material loss. This work establishes a baseline for circular economy strategies and strengthens my skills in quantitative analysis, systems thinking, and sustainable development.
