ABOUT ME
Since I have a multidisciplinary academic background, I consider myself as a transportation planner, transportation geographer, and transportation engineer. After completing my bachelor's degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), I obtained my master's degree in Geography and Planning from the University of Toledo. Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Arkansas.
