About

Md Rony Golder is a Research Assistant (Data Analyst) at the Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI), based at the University of Western Australia. He contributes to the Shared Environmental Analytics Facility (SEAF), a joint initiative of WAMSI and the Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute (WABSI). His expertise includes data quality control, extraction, standardization, and building data pipelines. His research interests span ocean colour remote sensing, ocean optics, coastal zone management, marine ecology, and biological oceanography.

Previously, he served as a Sessional Academic at Curtin University while pursuing a Ph.D. in Spatial Science within the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (long-term phytoplankton changes in the Southern Ocean, with the Remote Sensing and Satellite Research Group and the ARC Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS)). He completed a BSc in Fisheries (Honours) at Khulna University in 2018 and an MSc in Coastal and Marine Science in 2020. During his academic journey, Mr. Golder was awarded the National Science and Technology (NST) fellowship from the Ministry of Science and Technology in Bangladesh. He also received the DAAD Scholarship to pursue his master's degree in Marine Biology at the University of Bremen in Germany.

Prior to his Ph.D. studies, Mr. Golder gained valuable research experience as a Research Associate and Research Assistant at Khulna University. His projects involved land use and land cover change detection, coastal zone climate change analysis, and the analysis of spatial distribution of Chlorophyll-a and Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) in the Bay of Bengal. He utilized tools such as SeaDAS, R, ArcGIS, and Python for data collection, visualization, and analysis.

Mr. Golder's current Ph.D. project, as part of the ARC Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS), allows him to further explore his research interests in remote sensing and satellite research. His commitment and expertise continue to shape his academic and professional journey.
