PROFILE

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

I am Professor Dr. Mashura Shammi working at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh. I completed BSc (honours) and MSc in Environmental Sciences from Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh. I completed PhD in Ecology from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) through the funding of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and The World Academy of Sciences (CAS-TWAS) President’s Fellowship Program in 2017. I was a fellow of the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) and completed an international training program on Strategic Environmental Assessment ITP-SEA, 2017B Asia. I am the coordinator of the ITP-SEA Alumni Network (SEAN) Bangladesh. In addition, I am a fellow of the Organization of Women in Science for the Developing Worlds (OWSD) Early career women scientist (ECWS) 2019-2020 on “Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission and carbon dynamics in the Ganges River, Bangladesh”. I was also a fellow of the Eco-Peace Leadership Center (EPLC)-Asia from 2018-2019. I was also a fellow of LANDac (2022) the Netherlands Academy on Land Governance 2022 ‘Ten Years After: A “reality check” on impact assessments of infrastructural projects’

 

 I have a keen interest in environmental interdisciplinary research such as biogeochemistry of salinity intrusion, climate change, and environmental assessment. 

Peer-Reviewed publications

I have several peer-reviewed publications that are available in Google Scholar and ResearchGate.
