Biography

Md. Misbah Uddin joined as Lecturer in Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, in April 2004. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2007 and to Associate Professor in the year 2012. Dr. Misbah was promoted to professor in April’2017. Md. Misbah Uddin did his graduation in Civil Engineering in the year 2000 from Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan, under the technical assistance program of the Pakistan Government. He did Masters in Water Resource Engineering from the WRE Department of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in the year 2010. Later he completed his Ph.D. degree from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet in 2016. Just after completion of his graduation, he started his career as a hydraulic engineer in the Institute of Water Modelling (IWM), in Dhaka in the year 2000. IWM is well-known as a center of excellence in the field of water modelling and computational hydraulics, in this region. During his three years of service in IWM, he obtained knowledge in hydrologic and hydrodynamic modelling, using MIKE 11, MIKE 21. He also learned data management and processing software.
After joining to the university his core interest was to teach the subjects of water resources and he tried developing expertise in the field of water resource engineering. Professor Misbah supervised a number of students for their thesis mainly in the field of water resources. He has a significant number of research publications in national and international journals in his field of interest. He gave his input as a peer reviewer for journals like IJWREE, CWEEE, SCIENCEDOMAIN international, etc. Dr. Misbah has actively participated in many national and international conferences. Dr. Misbah Uddin worked as coordinator of the Center for Research, Testing and Consultancy (CRTC) of the CEE department during 2008-2009 and 2015 to 2017. He was also the director for ITN (International Training Network) sub-center at SUST in the year 2007. During the tenure of his directorship, he arranged different training programs and technical sessions in the relevant field with the banner of ITN. He also actively worked as chairman and member of different examination committees in different years as a part of his job. Besides this Dr. Misbah takes part in different administrative tasks regularly as per the requirement of the department.
