I am studying the role of African elephants in climate change by examining their feeding impacts on vegetation and above-ground carbon dynamics. My research aims to identify demographic and habitat degradation thresholds that could shift their ecosystem role from carbon accumulators to carbon releasers, while also addressing misconceptions about the two African elephant species and their hybrids. As elephants face increasing threats from poaching and escalating human-elephant conflict (HEC) across their range, my work further explores any synergies or trade-offs between climate change mitigation and conservation efforts, and how these are linked to HEC.

I am interested in responsible entrepreneurship and building inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems and practices, especially in developing contexts. I am curious about institutions, corruption, intersectionality, and sustainability. I am interested in doing research that contributes to finding solutions to grand challenges, and building a more just and sustainable world.

Professor of physical geography at the University of Helsinki. Expert in climate change impact modeling, ecosystem change and Arctic environments.

I have been working in the field of education development and research for a reasonable period of time. gradually I become fascinated in the field of environment, society, and culture. My masters’ thesis at Future Generations University, USA was on water pollution and social change and I have explored the interrelationship of human behaviors and water pollution. I, also involved with some other projects related to water and climate change mentionable are 'Water, Food Security, and Climate Change: Local Knowledge Global Implications,' Bangladesh Sustainable Development Learning project: Saving river Bangshi through community participation and student engagement. Founding member of a community development organization name TREE-Training Research Education for Empowerment My involvement with the research and development projects related to water and climate change guide me to develop PhD research on ‘Culture, climate change, and water conservation: ‘water ecosystems and culture base adaptation practices in Bangladesh

The overarching aim of my research is to develop new, sustainable forest management practices and policies that can pave the way for energy transition, climate change mitigation and adaptation, without compromising ecosystem services or the implementation of biodiversity targets. I have expertise in dynamic forest carbon cycle modeling, systems analysis, climate impact assessment, ecosystem service and biodiversity modeling as well as in policies related to climate change mitigation and the sustainability of bioenergy.

EduCase is a global pilot funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education EDUCase, and coordinated by Aalto University. EduCase aims at developing an innovative and educational case based institutional collaboration between Finnish Higher Institutions and Institutions/HEIs in potential partner countries in Africa. The major objectives of the EDUCase project include assisting in the provision of education relevant with sustainable development challenges, strengthening networks between partner countries’ HEIs and local innovation ecosystems, enhancing practical collaboration and deepening research networks and global competence of Finnish HEIs, advancing furthers innovations and the reaching of education development targets of HEIs in partner countries, advancing common innovation ecosystem between Finland and partner countries. Hanken/CCR's part of the project aims to device innovative educational collaborations with HEIs as well as with governmental and nongovernmental institutions that work on innovation in potential partner countries in Africa.
