Welcome to Habib’s website

Hi, I’m Salman Bin Habib, a second-year Ph.D. student in Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Dallas. My academic journey is deeply rooted in a passion for advancing the financial health, fundraising efficiency, and policy frameworks of nonprofit organizations and local government. By integrating rigorous research with practical applications, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and real-world challenges, driving meaningful improvements in nonprofit performance and community impact.

My perspective is shaped not only by academic pursuits but also by professional experience in sales and marketing within the private sector. This background has given me a unique lens to analyze organizational efficiency, resource optimization, and strategic communication—skills I now apply to nonprofit research and policy design. I believe that insights from the private sector can inspire innovative approaches to fundraising, stakeholder engagement, and financial sustainability in the nonprofit world.

Additionally, my research explores cutting-edge areas like blockchain policy, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize transparency and trust within the nonprofit sector. My mission is to empower organizations to thrive financially while maximizing their cultural and social contributions.

Let’s connect and make an impact together!

About Me

I’m a proud Bengali from Dhaka, the bustling capital of Bangladesh—a small but densely populated country, with over 200 million people (more than Russia, Australia, and Canada combined!). As an only child, I’ve been both spoiled and showered with unconditional love by my amazing parents, who are my biggest cheerleaders and the foundation of everything I’ve accomplished. In 2023, I married the love of my life, Nabila Parijat, who also happens to be a fellow Ph.D. student in Public Affairs at UTD! I’m a big foodie and can never say no to fried chicken, whether it’s from Church’s, Dave’s, Jollibee, or Korean spots. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me rewatching FRIENDS, diving into Korean movies, or enjoying long drives across the beautiful Texas. I also spend way too much time laughing at Conan O’Brien’s skits with Jordan Schlansky on YouTube. Can life BE any better than this?
