Mr. Hrithik Nath is currently working as a Lecturer and the Program Coordinator in the Civil Engineering Department at UCTC. He completed his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from KUET.

His research interests primarily include but are not limited to hydrology, meteorology, atmospheric science, and climate change. To date, he has already published some insightful articles in several journals and international conferences. Besides full-time teaching at UCTC, he is actively mentoring undergraduate students in their final year research projects on environmental and hydrological issues. His long-term goal is to become a research professor, focusing on mentoring underrepresented students and establishing a research facility in Bangladesh.
