About me

Hi there!
I am currently teaching as Lecturer at the Institute of Water and Flood Management (IWFM), BUET. As for my academic background, I am a Civil Engineering graduate from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I have completed my MSc with a focus on CFD to study storm surge impact on estuarine bridge systems using SPH.

 

My interest in water resource engineering stems from my passion to decipher and understand its system-wide complexities. It baffles me how everything just fits together in the intricate riverine and coastal systems, synchronized harmoniously!  My research experience primarily focuses on the hydro-morphological study of riverine and estuarine systems, coastal dynamics & hazards, climate change impact, and remote sensing applications. These stem from my opportunity to work on multiple collaborative research projects at IWFM, funded by local and foreign research grants. In addition, I have advanced training in climate change models and experience in working with DELFT3D, SWAT, DualSPHysics, SWMM, and RS-GIS datasets (e.g., SRTM, Landsat, Sentinel-2, ERA5, APHRODITE, INCOIS, GES DISC). My programming skills extend to Python, MATLAB, R, C++, and XML for data analysis as required by the projects, with basic experience in standard ML models. 

 

I am currently looking for a Fully funded Ph.D. position in research related to hydro-morphology, sediment transport, coastal dynamics, RS-GIS, and climate change modeling.

Education

M.S. in Civil Engineering,  Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, 2022

CGPA: 4.00/4.00

Thesis: Hydro-structural Investigation of Storm Surge Impact on Coastal Bridge Pier by Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

The thesis bridges two discrete domains of hydralic and structural engineering via SPH-CFD simulation. Open source Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics model – DualSPHysics is applied to investigate hydro-structural response of bridge pier systems under varied surge intensity. The extremely high computational intensive models were run in hardware accelereated NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPUs. The objective of the study was to investigate the hydrodynamic response of complex elevated pilecaps, different pier geometry and also understand influence of tidal water level in surge force amplification.
