About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, Indiana. My research focuses on enhancing community resilience and sustainability through data-driven transportation engineering, addressing critical challenges in traffic safety, network science, disaster response, and electric vehicle infrastructure by leveraging large-scale data analytics, machine learning, and system optimization techniques.

I completed my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Oklahoma in June 2026, under the advisement of Dr. Arif Mohaimin Sadri. My doctoral dissertation, "A Multi-Scale Framework for Planning a Resilient, Equitable, and Economically Integrated Electrified Transportation System," developed multi-criteria decision frameworks and social media-driven models for understanding and mitigating the impact of natural hazards on transportation networks, and for planning equitable EV charging infrastructure. I also hold a Graduate Certificate in Data Science and Analytics, an M.Sc. in Transportation Engineering, and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET).

Prior to joining Rose-Hulman, I served as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant at the University of Oklahoma's Transportation, Risk, and Information Commons (TRICS) Lab, where I mentored undergraduate and graduate students and developed courses integrating AI into civil engineering education, supported by the Dolese Teaching Fellowship. I also bring over four years of teaching experience as a Senior Lecturer at Daffodil International University in Bangladesh.

At Rose-Hulman, I am establishing a research program that bridges transportation systems analysis with computational methods and social data science. I am passionate about developing inclusive, evidence-based solutions to pressing transportation challenges and welcome collaborations with fellow researchers, students, and practitioners. Please feel free to explore my publications and reach out to discuss shared interests.
