Nadia’s research interest lies in understanding the impact and usage of social media among different audiences, e-health, public health literacy among communication professionals, organizational communication, strategic communication for marginalized population, and media literacy.
Nadia started her career as a Research Fellow at icddr,b, a premier international research organization located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. There she received funding as a Principal Investigator and co-investigator from the CDC and other agencies to carry out research projects on health economics. After successful completion of her fellowship, she moved to academia.

She taught Health Economics and Health Care Financing and Health Systems Management at the university’s interdisciplinary MPH program. She was also involved in designing, coordinating, and implementing short courses on Health Systems Strengthening and Universal Health Coverage.
Nadia coordinated a program called Building Awareness for Universal Health Coverage: Advancing the Agenda in Bangladesh. This program advocated and raised awareness among critical stakeholders for promoting and ensuring quality health care and universal health coverage (UHC) in Bangladesh.
Nadia successfully organized three flagship courses on health systems strengthening and universal health coverage in partnership with the WHO, the World Bank, Health Financing and Governance Project and other INGOs. These courses were designed to develop capacity of key stake holders to promote and advance UHC agenda in Bangladesh. In addition, she planned and coordinated different professional events at the school to promote research environments including stakeholders’ meetings, research seminars, dissemination programs, career events, round table discussions, and workshops.
Nadia completed her bachelor’s in economics and master’s in health economics from the University of Dhaka. Later she did another master’s in public health from the BRAC JPGSPH, BRAC University. Her thesis has been awarded as the best among all her MPH classmates and she received the prestigious William B. Greenow III award.
