Tropical savanna with dry-winter

This interview was conducted as part of the young professional program of the space4water program. The interview begins by asking about my professional and personal journey as a researcher specializing in water and space technologies, particularly in the context of environmental challenges. Growing up in Bangladesh, how my exposure to multiple water related challenges influenced my deep interest in remote sensing and Earth observation technologies. Then the question focuses on how I am addressing water related challenges using satellite imagery and geospatial data. The conversation also explores the role of space-based technologies, such as satellite Earth observations, in monitoring coastal erosion and riverbank changes. As part of response, I explain how the combination of high-resolution imagery with machine learning can predict environmental shifts and help mitigate the impacts on vulnerable populations. Finally, I shared my advice for aspiring professionals in water management, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary skills, including geospatial analysis, data science, and policy understanding. I also talked about the value of curiosity, collaboration, and access to advanced technologies for driving innovation in water related challenges worldwide.
