I am an Erasmus Mundus scholar, early-career legal researcher and graduate professional with 4 years of work experience and leading publications. I have been awarded multiple scholarships, awards and research grants at the national and international levels. I have also founded the Bangladesh Society of International Law.
Currently, I am pursuing a fully funded triple master’s degree in International Law of Global Security, Peace and Development with Human Rights specialisation at the University of Glasgow (UK), Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacional (Spain) and the University of Tartu (Estonia). I have completed my LL.B. with High Distinction from BRAC University (Bangladesh).
My research has been published in the Harvard International Law Journal, Asian Journal of Legal Education (SagePub), and Oxford Human Rights Hub. Two of my articles are forthcoming from the Asian Yearbook of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (Brill). Moreover, I have three forthcoming book chapters from Taylor & Francis, Springer, and Bloomsbury. I am an official contributor of Oxford University Press for the country report of Spain in the Yearbook of International Environmental Law. I also work as a reviewer for three journals, including a Scopus-indexed one. I am also co-editing an edited book, ‘Bangladesh, International Law and Security in post-July 2024.’ My other research interests are international criminal law, AI and cybersecurity – aiming for a generalist public international law expertise.
Professionally, I work as the Coordinator of the Bangladesh Campaign at Global Human Rights Defence – a UN ECOSOC NGO in the Hague (the Netherlands). I have a proven track record in research, advocacy, networking and leadership with NGOs and universities across South Asia, Europe and the USA as Project Supervisor, Research Fellow, Lead Researcher, Research Assistant and Course Assistant.
I will/have attended prestigious summer schools at Ludwig-Maximilian University (Germany), Birbeck, University of London (UK) and Central European University (Austria and Hungary) – all on full scholarships. In addition, I will/have presented papers/participated in leading conferences like the International Association of Genocide Scholars (South Africa), the Harvard HPAIR Conference (Harvard University), the London Conference on International Law (University of Cambridge), and the Lauterpacht Centre Conference on International Dispute Settlement (University of Cambridge). During my undergraduate studies, I excelled in moot competitions, including qualifying for the international round of Jessup (USA).
Beyond academia, I am committed to public legal education and empowerment. I regularly deliver lectures aimed at students from the Global South and have already contributed over 2,500 minutes of voluntary service to date. With 4 years of professional working experience, having received multiple full-funded overseas scholarships and awards, actively engaged in inter-disciplinary research, various ECAs and maintaining academic excellence, my primary objective using this platform is to mentor and assist students through 1-to-1 consultancy in these respective fields voluntarily. With a strong aptitude for learning and a visionary mindset, I look forward to welcoming new challenges and responsibilities and aim to ensure peace and justice in my community and on the global stage.
