I have worked in the professional field of architecture and academia for more than three years after completing my B. Arch in Bangladesh. I have recently completed my MS in Architecture from Penn State in Sustainability cluster. I have successfully participated in various design projects and competitions throughout my academic and professional life. Due to my interest in green and sustainable design, I have pursued my MS in this field and gained knowledge on Energy Efficient, Performative, Net-zero and Biophilic design, green infrastructures, various Green Building Accreditation Systems, Collaborative, and Integrated Design Delivery with the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Climate Change Mitigation Stategies etc. Currently, I am looking to participate in an engaging work environment where I can use and expand my knowledge and expertise.
