School of Civil Engineering and Construction
College of Engineering and Information Technology
I am a PhD student in Civil Engineering (Structural Engineering) at Adelaide University, Australia, supported by a fully funded Adelaide University Research Scholarship (AURS). My research focuses on Lunar Habitat Structures using Lunar Construction Materials, with particular emphasis on structural performance, thermal behaviour, 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 MSc in Structural Engineering from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, supported by the prestigious Royal Thai Government Scholarship (His Majesty the King’s Scholarship). At AIT, I was honoured with the Wen Zei Yang Prize in the Graduation Ceremony for outstanding academic performance (1st in Class).
My academic journey began with a BSc in Civil Engineering from the Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST), Dhaka, Bangladesh, where I ranked 3rd in my department and received the Dean’s Award for academic excellence.
