Education

  • MSc in Civil Engineering (Structural) from BUET, Dhaka
  • BSc in Civil Engineering, BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Research Interest

  • My research currently focuses on advancing sustainable cementitious materials and understanding their durability in chloride-laden and marine environments. I am particularly interested in developing low-carbon binders and clinker formulations that can significantly extend the service lives of reinforced concrete (RC) structures while lowering their embodied carbon. My work integrates experimental durability assessment, microstructural characterization, and performance-based frameworks to better predict long-term behavior. I am also interested in data-driven and probabilistic approaches, such as surrogate modeling, inverse design, and reliability analysis to optimize material formulations and quantify service-life performance under uncertainty. Ultimately, I aim to develop sustainable and optimized concrete systems and guidelines that reduce life-cycle impacts and enhance resilience in harsh environmental conditions.

Research Awards

  • Best Paper Award, Materials Session, for the paper titled “Effect of Binder Types on Corrosion Potential of Local Concrete Mixes in Bangladesh”, issued by the Civil Engineering Division, Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh in the 5th Annual Paper Meet and 2nd Civil Engineering Congress (2022).
  • RISE Student Research Grant of BDT. 100,000 for “Undergraduate Student Research Proposal”, organized by BUET (2022).
