INSTITUTE OF WATER MODELLING

Academic Chronology

Sadia Marjia Ferdous graduated in Civil Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2018.

Professional Track Record

Sadia Marjia Ferdous has a professional career of around 4 years at the Institute of Water Modelling (IWM). She started her career at IWM in April 2019. For the first two years, she was at Survey and Data Division (SDT). There, she processed topographic and bathymetric data and represented the data in hydrographic charts. In January 2021, she joined Research and Development Unit (R&D). Since then, she has been involved in projects related to groundwater and surface water quality, drought, climate change, etc.
