Research Experience
Assessing the Suitability of E-Rickshaws as Electric Paratransit in Heterogeneous Urban Traffic
OngoingSupervisor: Dr. Md. Hadiuzzaman, Professor, Dept. of CE, BUET
Sep. 2025 – Present
- Completed a structured literature review on E-rickshaw usage, operations, and safety; synthesized evidence for first/last-mile contexts.
- Developing a questionnaire survey on acceptability and safety to assess adoption potential.
Sustainable Soil Stabilization using MICP and EICP
OngoingSupervisor: Dr. Md. Azijul Islam, Assistant Professor, Dept. of CE, BUET
Jun. 2025 – Present
- Developed MICP/EICP protocols by extracting and validating urease sources from jack bean, jackfruit seeds, and yeast; established enrichment, isolation, and activity assays.
- Running soil stabilization trials; testing strength/durability to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Pavement Stabilization in Bangladesh: A Review of Conventional and Emerging Techniques
Review WorkSupervisor: Dr. Mohammad Shariful Islam, Professor, Dept. of CE, BUET
Jun. 2025 – Sep. 2025
- Reviewed chemical (cement; lime; fly ash; rice husk ash; sugarcane bagasse ash), mechanical (RAP; jute geotextile; gradation/compaction), and biological (MICP; EICP) stabilization methods for base/subbase soils in Bangladesh.
- Concluded with quantified effects of each method.
An Integrated Framework of Feeder Mode Prediction with Route Optimization for Mass Rapid Transit Connectivity
Undergraduate ThesisSupervisor: Dr. Md. Hadiuzzaman, Professor, Dept. of CE, BUET
Jan. 2024 – Mar. 2025
- Built an integrated framework combining machine learning, behavioral modeling, and network optimization for feeder service planning.
- Conducted household surveys; extracted service quality indicators via EFA/CFA; trained Random Forest classifier to predict preferred feeder modes.
- Developed spatial road network model in MATLAB; implemented Dijkstra's algorithm for route optimization.
- Proposed optimization scenarios and visualization to enhance multimodal mobility planning.
