Md. Kobir Hossain, PhD

Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, DUET, Gazipur

I am currently working as an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at DUET, Gazipur. My teaching profession started in June 2012 as a Lecturer of Civil Engineering, DUET and since then I have dedicated myself to acquiring knowledge that helps me maximize my efforts to educate my students with the state of the art of structural engineering. My research primarily focuses on developing tools and knowledge base that not only address resilience (seismic/wind) but also the pressing need of sustainability (related to climate change). I am fully motivated to train and educate the next generations of engineers with the state of the art knowledge on structural engineering to build the infrastructures (buildings, bridges etc.) sustainably.
