Letter of Recommendation

To, Date: January 28, 2021

Dr. Hideo Ohno
President,
Tohoku University,
Sendai, Miyagi, Japan.

Dear Dr. Hideo Ohno,

It is my great pleasure to write a recommendation letter for Hasnin Fatema Kanon who was one
of my undergraduate students at the department of Civil Engineering in Chittagong University of
Engineering & Technology (CUET), Bangladesh. She has earned her B.Sc. in Civil Engineering
in 2011 from this prestigious Engineering University of Bangladesh. After graduation she was
successfully recruited by Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) in 2012 which is the
leading organization in water sector of Bangladesh. She is now working as Executive Engineer
and involved in planning, research and design of overall water resources management and
disaster risk mitigation projects under Ministry of Water Resources.
As a Professor of this University and her course teacher in third year of her study, I knew her
from 2009. I have found Mrs. Kanon to be very much competent with analytical ability,
disciplined in work, and highly motivated. She has the originality of thinking and that was
reflected in her undergraduate thesis which have made her an appropriate student for research
work. Moreover, she is involved in many extra-curricular activities.
In conclusion, I highly recommend her for the MEXT Scholarship offered by Government of
Japan. I am quite confident that the Master’s Degree Program of International Disaster Risk
Management Course at Tohoku University will enhance her technical and professional ability. I
believe her ambition, excellence and focus on research which will make her successful in the
proposed course and she can serve people of Bangladesh later with the acquired knowledge.
I wish Mrs. Kanon all the best in his academic and professional life. If you’d like to discuss his
attributes in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely

Prof. Dr. Md. Rabiul Alam

Dean, Faculty of Civil Engineering
Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET)
Chattogram-4349, Bangladesh
