I am a transportation systems researcher specializing in enhancing community resilience and sustainability through data-driven engineering. My work focuses on addressing critical challenges in traffic safety, network science, and disaster response by leveraging large-scale data analytics, machine learning, and system optimization techniques. I am passionate about developing innovative solutions that improve the safety, efficiency, and equity of our transportation infrastructure.
As a Ph.D. Candidate in Civil Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, advised by Dr. Arif Mohaimin Sadri, my doctoral research investigates the dynamics of social media data in understanding and mitigating the impact of natural hazards on transportation networks. This work is supported by my interdisciplinary background, which includes 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).
My research is complemented by over four years of experience in higher education, where I designed and taught undergraduate courses in civil engineering as a Senior Lecturer at Daffodil International University. This experience has solidified my commitment to student mentorship and my passion for bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and foundational engineering education. My goal is to cultivate an inclusive learning environment that empowers the next generation of engineers to tackle complex, real-world problems.
Upon completing my doctorate, I am seeking a tenure-track assistant professor position where I can establish a vibrant research program and contribute to a collaborative academic community. I am eager to connect with fellow researchers and potential collaborators. Please feel free to explore my publications and contact me to discuss shared interests.
Khondhaker Al Momin is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering while working as a graduate research assistant at the University of Oklahoma. He has previously worked as a senior lecturer at Daffodil International University. Holding interdisciplinary qualifications in civil engineering, system engineering, and data science, his research actively focuses on diverse areas, including traffic incident analysis and prevention, traffic flow theory, and ACES (autonomous, connected electric, and shared) vehicles. His interests also extend to big data analytics, network science, natural hazards, and system optimization.

My research focuses on improving safety and efficiency in transportation systems. I utilize various methods including supervised machine learning, social media data analysis, and traditional traffic analysis to understand complex issues in transportation. Specific areas of interest include pedestrian safety, travel mode choice, crisis response during compound disasters, and the impact of non-motorized vehicles on traffic flow.
