About
As a Ph.D. Candidate at the Gallogly College of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science at the University of Oklahoma, USA, I am advancing my expertise at the intersection of academic research and practical engineering applications. My academic foundations are rooted in Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh, where I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Civil Engineering. Prior to embarking on my doctoral journey, I enriched my teaching portfolio as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at Daffodil International University and as a Lecturer at the University of Global Village, Bangladesh. Accumulating over seven years of professional experience, including four and a half years in academia and over three years (and counting) as a Graduate Research Assistant, I have cultivated a robust skill set that bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world practice.
