Short Bio

I am a Lecturer in Mass Communication and Journalism at the Bangladesh University of Professionals. Before joining BUP, I served as a Lecturer at BRAC University and the Green University of Bangladesh.

I graduated from the Department of Television, Film, and Photography at the University of Dhaka, where I ranked first in both my Honors and Master’s programs. My honors capstone project was a short film written and directed by me titled Life, Corona, and Some Pigeons (2022), which was screened at various local film festivals and won an award at the Global Youth Film Festival Bangladesh. My master’s thesis was “OTT and New Genres of Content: Bangladeshi Perspective,” supervised by renowned Bangladeshi media scholar Prof. Dr. A J M Shafiul Alam Bhuiyan.

I teach a diverse range of interdisciplinary courses, including Photojournalism, Multimedia Journalism, Online Journalism, Advertising and Content Production Lab, Film Sense and Criticism, Video Editing Lab, Graphic Design, Videography,  Art History, History of Art, Culture and Heritage, and Introduction to Psychology.

Alongside my academic work, I have remained actively engaged with industry practice. I served as a program researcher and scriptwriter for the streaming platform Bongo. I worked for five years as a part-time Social Media and Digital Manager at Bhola Mritshilpa, one of Bangladesh’s leading pottery manufacturers and exporters. I also served as an assistant director at Runout Films and other ad production houses.

My research interests include Screen Studies, AI and Media, Streaming Media, Media Convergence, Transmedia Storytelling, Media Management, Visual Communication, and Advertising. Currently, I am working on a book chapter titled “Ownership, Regulation, and Content Diversity: The Political Economy Perspective on Bangladeshi OTT Platforms,” which is forthcoming in the book series Media, Culture, and Social Change in Asia by Routledge, supervised by Abdul Aziz, PhD, Monash University Malaysia. Moving forward, I aim to pursue a PhD focusing on AI and Cinema.
