M.Sc. Mohammed Mofizur Rahman

I am a Bangladesh-born environmental scientist and an educator. Before joining at PIK, I was an Alexander Von Humboldt International Climate Protection Fellow and a Research Associate at the Institute for Resources Management for the Tropics and Sub-tropics, Köln, Germany.  

I have more than 10 years of working experience in various national and international organizations .  My work is mostly related to climate change impact and adaptation in the large river deltas around the world. Sustainability and Resilience thinking is the key to his work.
