Biography of Md. Abdullah Al Baky (Former Assistant Professor)
My M.Sc research time in the University of Dhaka, investigates the management of flood flows towards crop production risk management using hydraulic and GIS modeling in a typical alluvial watershed of Bangladesh. After completion the degree I joined as a lecturer at the Jagannath University, Bangladesh. My time in the university widened my research interests to include fluvial geomorphology of various types of rivers and their floodplains. Applications of GIS and Remote Sensing as well as hydraulic modeling in spatial sciences are one of my keen interests. In 2014, I have been selected as a successful candidate for the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) - Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) to peruse PhD at the University of Melbourne. In mid-2014 I moved from Bangladesh to Melbourne, where I took up my current PhD position at the university. Here, my research examines the development of avulsion channels in the Murray river floodplain, and the way in which river planform change drives the deposits across the floodplain. LiDAR data analysis at GIS environment is the key tool of my project methodology.
