Kazi Jihadur Rashid

I am a Geospatial and Environmental Researcher and joined as a Graduate Student (TA) in the Geography department at Florida State University. My academic foundation includes an M.S. and B.Sc. in Geography and Environmental Studies from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh.

My research integrates remote sensing, geospatial data science, and machine learning to explore urban land transformations, climate risks, and environmental impacts—particularly in rapidly developing regions. Previously, I worked with organizations at the intersection of research and application. As a Green Response Officer at the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), I supported disaster and climate risk management efforts. At the Center for Environmental and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS), I contributed to large-scale geospatial projects as a Research Consultant in the Remote Sensing Division. I also held a Research Assistant position at the University of Chittagong, where I began developing my expertise in land use/land cover (LULC) analysis and environmental monitoring.
