Research

My research sits at the intersection of plant taxonomy, morphometrics, and computer-aided drug design, with additional work in ethnobotany, urban biodiversity, and environmental pollution.

M.S. thesis: Taxonomic and morphometric studies of the family Anacardiaceae with a focus on structure-based drug design for cancer (University of Dhaka, 2024).
