		| Biographical Sketch: 
 I have completed my Masters in Science program in applied statistics, then  I have joined a project named implementation of monitoring and evaluation for international finance corporation-World Bank, Bangladesh as
research associate and I was very eager to see how one might use economics to tackle real life problem. I did
some interesting work here. I think economics is a area where I would really like to explore. My passion for
economics comes from two dimensions one is intellectual curiosity and other one is for my country because
it is a developing country, where there are scopes for contribution in the field of economics. |
