About

I am a PhD student in the Department of Politics at the University of Virginia, where I study international relations and political methodology.

My research focuses on international conflict and security, foreign policy, and great power competition. I am particularly interested in how domestic politics shapes states’ relations with external powers. Much of my work examines South Asia, with additional research on the Middle East, migration, refugees, and border politics.

I use quantitative analysis, qualitative case studies, and computational methods. Before joining UVA, I earned an MA in Political Science from the University of Southern Mississippi and taught in the Department of Development Studies at Daffodil International University. I hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Public Administration from the University of Barishal, Bangladesh.
