Scientific Staff Member
Biography
M.Sc. Faruque Abdullah joined the Astronomical, Physical, and Mathematical Geodesy Group at the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation (IGG), University of Bonn, in April 2025 as a full-time Doctoral Researcher. Prior to this, he earned both his BSc (2017) and MSc (2024) in Water Resources Engineering from the Department of Water Resources Engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). His research primarily focuses on the application of satellite altimetry in monitoring coastal processes and coastal–freshwater interactions. His interests also include sea-level rise, extreme events, and the broader impacts of climate changee.
