### Engineering Diplomacy

Building on his extensive work in Water Diplomacy, Dr. Islam has started expanding his work into Engineering Diplomacy. He has initiated a Substack and writes regularly on related topics. His recent work on the role of engineering diplomacy in addressing 2024 flood problems in Bangladesh has been featured in a premier daily newspaper, [The Daily Star](/wiki/The_Daily_Star_%28Bangladesh%29 "The Daily Star (Bangladesh)"). The [360Info](https://360info.org) has published Dr. Islam’s take on how Bangladesh has shown how the engineering diplomacy framework for managing the 2024 floods crisis could be a pathway to resilience for many global challenges of our time. His research group has developed several models and tools for flood forecasting across the world and featured [here](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-59145-w) and [here](https://engineering.tufts.edu/news-events/news/simple-and-actionable-solution-flood-forecasting).
