IUBAT—International University of Business Agriculture and Technology

I am a civil engineering researcher and lecturer specializing in geotechnical earthquake engineering, with a research focus on seismic slope stability, geomaterial behavior under dynamic loading, and earthquake-induced ground response. My work aims to improve the safety and performance of geotechnical systems in earthquake-prone regions. I hold an MSc in Geotechnical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and a BSc in Civil Engineering from Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology, where my academic training developed into a strong interest in earthquake-related geotechnical problems, particularly slopes, underground structures, and soil–structure interaction. My recent research includes seismic slope stability assessment, analytical modeling of soil–structure interaction, and the evaluation of geomaterials such as tire-derived aggregates (TDA) for energy dissipation and improved seismic performance. These studies have led to peer-reviewed publications in in different journals, contributing to the understanding of seismic response mechanisms in complex geotechnical systems. Currently, I serve as a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at IUBAT, combining teaching with active research and academic supervision. I am particularly interested in the behavior of natural and engineered geomaterials under earthquake loading and their role in enhancing infrastructure resilience.
