Dr. Bhuiyan, an educator and expert in the field of engineering with specialization in structural and earthquake engineering, is working in the department of civil engineering, CUET. As a civil engineering professional and researcher he is teaching and researching as well as designing civil infrastructures for over 20 years. Apart from his academic responsibility at CUET, he is also serving BAETE, IEB as the member secretary of the Coordination Committee since 2020. Also, he is workibg as the member secretary of Bangladesh Group of IABSE. He served CUET as the Dean of Faculty of Civil Engineering (2017-2019), Director of Institute of Earthquake Engineering Research (IEER) (2014-2019) and Head of Department of Civil Engineering (2015-2017) and Department of Disaster and Environmental Engineering (2012-2014). He was the Ex-Syndicate member of CUET (2016-2019). He was also the Senior Consultant (2019-2021, being on lien from the university) at Housing and Building Research Institute (HBRI), Ministry of Housing and Public Works under a JICA-STREPS project entitled “Technical Development to Upgrade Structural Integrity of Buildings in Densely Populated Urban Areas and Its Strategic Implementation towards Resilient Cities(TSUIB)” jointly funded by Japan and Bangladesh. He is the Fellow of the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) and the maintains his membership with American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE-SEI), Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), International Association for Structural and Bridge Engineering (IABSE) and Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE). He started his professional career as research associate in the Department of Civil Engineering, BUET in 2001. He joined CUET in 2002 as lecturer, got promoted to assistant professor in 2005, associate professor in 2012, professor (Grade 3) in 2013 and professor (Grade 2) in 2017. In 2010, he worked as short term visiting scholar at University of Kassel and University of Ruhr in Germany. In 2011, he worked as the postdoctoral research fellow at the school of engineering in University of British Columbia (Okanagan Campus), Canada.
From 2006 to 2009, Dr. Bhuiyan carried out research works in Japan on laminated rubber bearings (High damping rubber bearings, lead rubber bearings and natural rubber bearings) and developed rheology models for seismic analysis of laminated rubber bearings to be used in protecting bridge structures from earthquakes. This widely accepted technology has been directly applied, for the first time in Bangladesh, in the construction of the second Kanchpur-Meghna-Gomti bridges recently constructed on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway. In 2011-2013, he conducted research works in Canada and Bangladesh on fragility assessment of SMA installed highway bridges due to earthquakes, and developed a simplified rheology model for SMA based rubber bearings to be used in protecting bridge structures from earthquakes. In 2010-2016, he took part in a project contributing towards development and formulation of course curriculum on disaster engineering education in postgraduate level in the South East Asian countries. The project was headed by University of Kassel, Germany and the other partner universities/ institutes of the project were from Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Apart from his academic and administrative responsibilities at the university, Dr. Bhuiyan serves, on behalf of CUET, as consultant in various projects of different government and non-government organization of Bangladesh. Dr. Bhuiyan is currently involved in a mega research project of seismic evaluation and retrofitting of existing RC and URM buildings under a joint initiative of GoB-JICA.
Academic Qualification:
Dr. Bhuiyan received his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering degree and M. Sc. in Structural Engineering degree from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Bangladesh.
