I am a Labour Migration and Mobility Specialist with over 25 years of empirical research, 13 years of teaching, and 10 years of consultancy experience, working across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. I have served as a Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning Expert for leading international organizations, including ILO, IOM, UNHCR, DFID/FCDO, British Council, European Commission, GIZ, USAID, and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
My consulting and research expertise spans internal and international labour migration; labour recruitment processes and modern slavery (including OLR systems); returnee reintegration; migration, remittances, and inequality; skills development (TVET) for employment; forced displacement and Rohingya refugee issues; irregular migration, human smuggling, and trafficking; labour rights in the RMG sector; women’s empowerment; and climate-induced migration and urban resettlement.
I have published extensively in national and international platforms, contributing books, journal articles, and policy reports on migration, labour governance, and refugee protection.
I am open to advisory roles, research collaborations, and consulting opportunities with international agencies, universities, think tanks, and development organizations.
