Biography

Ahad Ullah is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet, Bangladesh. Prior to joining SUST, he served as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at Daffodil International University (DIU) until June 14, 2025. He also held academic positions as a Lecturer at Port City International University and as an Adjunct Faculty Member at City University, Bangladesh. Mr. Ullah completed his Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering from SUST, graduating with 1st position in his class. He earned his Master of Science in Civil Engineering with a major in Geotechnical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), under the supervision of Dr. Mohammad Shariful Islam. In addition to his academic roles, he actively contributed to student welfare as an Assistant House Tutor at YKSG-1 Hall, DIU, and regularly supported students with engineering and mathematical problem-solving. He has published over 12 technical papers in national and international journals and conferences. He also has experience supervising undergraduate thesis and project students in the field of civil engineering. Mr. Ullah is a member of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) and also a member of the Centre for Research, Testing and Consultancy (CRTC) of the Department of CEE, SUST. With a strong academic foundation and a growing interest in Geotechnical Engineering research, he aspires to pursue a Ph.D. abroad to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge and practice in the field.
