About
I am Mir Mohammad Hamza, a researcher specializing in industrial ecology and sustainability analytics. I work at the Decoupling Lab, North South University, under the supervision of Profesor Mohammad Sujauddin, where I lead and contribute to projects on material flow analysis, life cycle assessment, and techno-economic feasibility of sustainable materials and waste systems. My current research focuses on modeling the dynamics of plastic waste generation and circular textile material flows in Bangladesh. I hold a BSc in Economics (minor in Mathematics) and am pursuing an MSc in Environmental Science and Management, with a thesis on dynamic stock-flow modeling of plastic waste systems. Beyond research, I serve as a teaching assistant, peer reviewer, and consultant for projects funded by the World Bank and USAID, combining data-driven methods with systems thinking to inform circular economy policies and resource management strategies.Details
I am a researcher in industrial ecology with a background in economics and environmental science. My work integrates systems thinking, quantitative modeling, and sustainability assessment to analyze material flows, life cycle impacts, and circular economy strategies in developing economies. I hold a BSc in Economics with a minor in Mathematics and am currently pursuing an MSc in Environmental Science and Management at North South University, where my thesis focuses on dynamic stock-flow modeling of plastic waste management in Bangladesh. I have contributed to several research and consultancy projects with the Decoupling Lab, the World Bank, and USAID, covering topics such as plastic waste infrastructure, textile circularity, and policy mechanisms for sustainable materials management. My first publication, in Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, presents a modular framework for evaluating environmental and economic trade-offs in sustainable textile material choices. Alongside my research, I serve as a teaching assistant and peer reviewer, combining technical analysis with a focus on actionable sustainability policy and systems-based solutions.Research Interests
• Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of Plastics, Metals, Construction & Demolition Materials, Textiles• Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) + Techno-Economic Feasibility Assessment (TEA) of Plastic Alternatives, Textiles & Alternatives, Energy Systems, Food-Agriculture Systems
• Stock-Flow modelling of waste management systems (MSW, plastics, metals) and socio-ecological systems
