I am a PhD student in Civil Engineering (Structural Engineering) at the University of Adelaide, Australia, researching Lunar Habitat Structures using Lunar Construction Materials, with a focus on structural performance, thermal behavior, and radiation shielding.
Previously, I served as a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at East West University (EWU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, until September 2025. I also worked at Port City International University (PCIU), Chattogram, from 2015 to 2024, where I progressed from Lecturer to Senior Lecturer.
I hold an M.Sc. in Structural Engineering from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, supported by the Royal Thai Government (His Majesty the King’s Scholarship). At AIT, I was honored with the Wen Zei Yang Prize for outstanding academic performance.
My academic journey began with a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST), Dhaka, where I ranked 3rd in my department and received the Dean’s Award for academic excellence.
