About Myself
Dr. Md Aftabur Rahman has been a professor of the civil
engineering department since December 2021. Earlier, he joined the same
department as a lecturer in November 2008, and since then, he has been serving
the department. Dr. Rahman earned his Ph.D. with a specialization in
Geotechnical Engineering from the Yokohama National University, Japan, in 2016.
He also had a Master's in Civil Engineering from Saitama University and a B.Sc
in Civil Engineering from the Chittagong University of Engineering and
Technology.
Dr. Rahman has contributed to landslide-induced hazard
mitigation by developing an analytical model for estimating flow velocity
accounting anomalies in widely used velocity estimation procedures. Moreover,
his contribution is noteworthy as he pointed out the effect of the flow path of
detached landslide mass during his study in Japan. While doing research at
Saitama University in Japan, he was working on response analysis of underground
pipelines under different fault conditions using the realistic numerical model,
and his research has gained much acceptance by the researchers in the buried
pipe community, been proven by the citation received under the published paper
in a highly reputed journal. Upon returning to the country, Dr. Rahman devoted
himself to finding rational solutions to geotechnical hazards in the country's
ongoing development toward a sustainable society. He has been actively doing
research in ground improvement methods using locally available and waste
materials, keeping the primary aim to reduce the construction cost and
preserving the safety of the structure. In addition, he continues his expertise
in geotechnical hazard analysis by concentrating on estimating the liquefaction
hazard of the Chattogram, the second-largest city.
Dr. Rahman serves the academia as a reviewer of
distinguished journals. In addition, he was the organizing secretary of an
international conference held in Bangladesh in 2018. He also contributed to
academia as a technical secretary of an international conference in 2020. He
has completed several funded research projects, including one from the
University Grants Commission of Bangladesh. Scholarly journals and proceedings
have been published from those research projects, and some are under review for
possible publications.
Besides academic activities, Dr. Rahman provides consultancy
services in many national projects as an expert member of the Bureau of
Research, Testing, and Consultation (BRTC), CUET, and as an individual expert.
His professional services include basic material testing, sub-soil
investigation, foundation design and vetting, geotechnical complex problem
analysis, etc.
