Co-investigator of Research “Rohingya Influx in Bangladesh: Perceptions and Attitudes of the Host Population”. Aim of this research is to generate perception-based information that will help guide state and non-state efforts and policies to effectively manage the Rohingya issues (e.g., social, political, health) in Bangladesh. In this study, we are examining the perception and attitude of the local population by both objective and subjective measures. The core research question is "What are the perceptions and attitudes (mainly long-term) of the local population (only adult, 18+ years of age, citizens of Bangladesh) concerning social, economic, environmental, political and health sectors associated with the Rohingya influx in southern Bangladesh?" Here, I worked with delicate populations: refugee and host, following a mix-method approach. I led the research staring from conceptualization throughout all the processes of research and management. 640 host population households were surveyed systematically along with key informant interviews.

The objective of this research is to identify the use of different level public participation approaches in climate change adaptation in coastal Bangladesh, especially keeping an eye on the transparency and effectiveness. This examination will, therefore, open the opportunity for further exploration and explanation of the relationship between these parameters with the goal of ensuring good governance for climate change activity in Bangladesh. The core research question is "How the level and mode of the participation impact the transparency and effectiveness of climate change adaptation in Bangladesh?"

This research studied and analyzed adaptation projects qualitatively at a micro-scale. The focus is to examine the real evidence in contrast with its existing mythical or biblical notion. This paper examined the role of public participation in delivering successful adaptation and adaptation governance in coastal Bangladesh.
