Marin Akter

PhD candidate
School of Mathematics

Prior degrees

I completed a Master of Science in Mathematics at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, where I obtained a CGPA of 4.00 out of 4.00. Before that, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur, with a CGPA of 3.83 out of 4.00. My previous studies developed my knowledge of applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, statistical analysis and mathematical modelling.

About

I am a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at the University of New South Wales, Australia. My research focuses on climate-change modelling, rainfall-related hazards, disaster-risk assessment and the vulnerability of coastal communities. I apply mathematical, statistical and computational methods to analyse climate data and investigate extreme-weather events and their regional impacts.

Research areas/interests

My research area includes applied mathematics, climate and rainfall modelling, statistical downscaling, bias correction of climate-model outputs, hydrometeorological hazards and disaster-risk assessment. I am particularly interested in analysing extreme rainfall, flooding, storm surges, coastal vulnerability, climate-change adaptation and risk to communities

Research outputs

My research outputs include peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, research reports, mathematical and statistical models, spatial hazard maps and computational frameworks related to climate change, natural hazards, adaptation, vulnerability, and disaster-risk assessment. My complete and updated research outputs, publication details and citation information are available through my ResearchGate profile and Google Scholar profile. My ResearchGate profile currently presents my research publications and academic activities, while Google Scholar provides information about my publications and citations.
