Mohammed Sharif Islam is an
Assistant Professor in the Urban and Rural Planning Discipline at Khulna
University. His research is broadly concerned with the policies that guide the
public life in cities and regions. More specifically, he studies economic
development policies, the growth of local and industrial
economies, and the environmental issues pertaining to the growth. Sharif’s doctoral work examines the factors of the
policies that lead to economic development in the American states. He tested
several econometric questions and identified a set of policy choices that
actually contribute to economic growth.
Besides looking at economic
choices, his work identifies environmentally sustainable measures that are
ecologically informed and functionally efficient to deal with anthropogenic
activities. For a regional landscape in western Canada, his research engaged network
modeling to recognize the flow of some ecological agents, which produced a set of discernible policy options for the land-use plan of the region. He also
conducted several studies on location based access to services for cities and
regions in the south-western part of Bangladesh. For a list of his published
research, please follow the publication tab.
Methodologically, Sharif uses more of quantitative techniques such as maximum likelihood estimation. He
also specializes in geographic analysis and network theory.
At Khulna University, Sharif
teaches economics, statistics, and landscape design as foundational courses, and
urban economics, regional planning, remote sensing, and geographic information systems
as advanced undergrad courses. His graduate courses include planning tools
and ethics, research design, and public policy.
