■■ International ties of CEReS ― What’s up, graduates? ■■～ シリーズCEReS 修了の留学生 世界で活躍！ （バングラディッシュより）～

今回は、バングラディッシュご出身の Tarulata Shapla さんです。Sher-e-Bangla AgriculturalUniversity（Dhaka）に在籍、研究活動をされていた Shapla さんは 2012 年の 9 月に来日、10 月に開催された第 18 回 CEReS 国際シンポジウム（副題：Asian Network for Enviromental Monitoring and RelatedStudies）で研究発表されました。その後、翌年春に融合科学研究科情報科学専攻知能情報コースに入学し、今年 3 月に博士（学術）の学位を取得されました。現在、Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural Universityに戻り、CEReS で学んだ新しい手法での研究に取り組み、祖国に貢献できるよう日々励んでおられます。

I am Tarulata Shapla, Associate Professor in the department ofAgroforestry and Environmental Science in Sher-e-BanglaAgricultural University Dhaka, Bangladesh. On March 25th of2016, I completed my PhD program under the supervision ofProf. Dr. Hiroaki Kuze in the field of remote sensing in Chiba
University. The title of my thesis is “Change assessment andphenological analysis of agroforestry and agricultural land use
in Bangladesh based on satellite remote sensing”. My research
was to analyze the rice producing areas utilizing Landsat andMODIS satellite data.
I came to Japan as a visiting researcher at CEReS in September 2012. During these three months
here, I became familiar with a lot of modern technology at CEReS, especially the instruments foratmospheric monitoring such as differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS), and various
imaging and spectroscopic devices, which form a good basis for various remote sensing andenvironmental studies. At CEReS, also I had a good experience attending laboratory seminars andclasses, getting chances for presenting some of my recent achievements regarding the agricultural
application of remote sensing methodologies. Here at CEReS, I observed different research
activities through communications with researchers, which lead to sharing valuable informationthat is required for a visiting researcher. I still feel proud of being a student in the Japanese
language course of the University International Center, an outstanding asset obtainable by staying
in Japan. With the background knowledge in Agriculture, Agroforestry and Environment, I wasvery enthusiastic about building my career with Remote Sensing by keeping pace with theadvancement of technologies, especially those used for land use and land cover change detection
using different resolution of satellite images.
In 1997, I completed my B.Sc. in Agriculture (Honors degree) from Bangladesh Agricultural
University, Mymensingh. This University bring back memories of my father; Prof. Dr. M. Abdul
Haque (Texas A&M), as once he was the Vice-chancellor of this university. Subsequently, I achieved
Master of Science (M.S.) in Agroforestry & Environment from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur

Rahman Agricultural University (former name was IPSA, Institute of Post Graduate Studies inAgriculture, funded by JICA), Gazipur, Bangladesh in Autumn 2001. Upon completion of my M.S.
therein, I worked in a government project (SAIP, Smallholder Agricultural Improvement Project,funded by IFAD in Department of Agricultural Extension, Khamarbari, Dhaka) as a statisticalofficer between May 2001 and October 2002. In October 2002, I was appointed to a lecturer in theDepartment of Agroforestry and Environmental Science at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University
and in September 2006, I was promoted as an Assistant Professor. In December 2007, I wasappointed to the chair of the department, till July 2011. My responsibility includes teaching, giving
guidance and research supervision to students, counseling, preparing the syllabus, and grading
entire courses by proctoring examinations. My personal research activities consist of writing
professional journal papers and attending both national and international seminars and meetings.
As a part of it, during October 24th, 2012, I had an opportunity to give a presentation in the 18thCEReS international symposium at the Nishi Chiba campus, Chiba University. As a consequence,
during my stay in Japan, I visited Fukushima, Kyoto, Korea (Busan), Taiwan (Tainan) for RSSJand ISRS symposiums as well as two of my papers have been published in an open journal of which
the first paper is based on Landsat data; http://file.scirp.org/pdf/ARS_2015082410375843.pdf andthe second one on MODIS data;
http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=61975.
My research interest is interaction between atmosphere and land with remote sensing and GIS.
After completing my doctoral program, I went back to my university in April 2016 and waspromoted to an Associate Professor that was effective from September 2014.
This doctoral program in the Information Sciences Division of the Graduate School for Advanced
Integrated Science, Chiba University helped me to create a solid scientific foundation in remotesensing field. Though, Bangladesh has limited scope in the field of remote sensing, I had anamazing opportunity with the guidance of Prof. Kuze Sensei that was truly an eye-opening
experience to complete my last degree in an advanced technology based country, Japan. Moreoversafety in Japan, friendly environment, culture, natural beauty etc. gave me strong motivation forimproving the future of humanity; I wish to contribute more to Bangladeshi people by performing akey role between Japanese and Bangladeshi societies and always expect promising and successful
future for everyone in CEReS, Chiba university as well as Japan, the land of the flowers and therising sun.
