I am a scientist at the University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials (UD-CCM). I am involved in research, teaching, and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoc. My research efforts primarily focus on developing a deeper understanding of advanced composites, ballistic fibers and multifunctional nanomaterials using a closely coupled experimental and computational approach . Materials-by-Design approach involves multi-scale and multi-physics modeling and experimental characterization. Collaborating with Prof. John W. Gillespie Jr. at the University of Delaware, I have submitted several projects as PI and Co-PI over last few years and acquired $1,988,595 research fund to date.

Before joining at the University of Delaware in 2011, I worked as an associate professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I served as an assistant provost in student residential halls and advised five masters degree students. I have published about 60 peer-review journal and conference papers and presented my research at numerous national and international scientific conferences. I have been involved in extensive peer-review work for many scientific article publishers, including Nature, Elsevier, SAGE, Springer, MDPI and Taylor & Francis. Besides peer-review works, I regularly organize technical sessions/symposium in my field of expertise in the American Society for Composites (ASC), Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) and MACH Conferences. Recently, I am serving as guest editor in a special issue on “Polymer Fibers and Composites”, for ‘Fibers’ journal published by MDPI.
