M.Sc. Civil Engineering student at TU Darmstadt, focusing on structural analysis and concrete and steel structures. I hold a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from CUET, where my thesis designed a composite steel extension over a building that stays in use. I am interested in earthquake engineering, finite element methods and machine learning for structures, with the long-term goal of working on bridges and existing structures in Germany.

Ongoing Projects
- TreeWatch Ostpark: tree vitality near a construction site Ongoing, Winter 2026/27My compulsory interdisciplinary M.Sc. project (IPBU), run by the Remote Sensing and Image Analysis group at TU Darmstadt. Our team assesses whether trees near the Nordmainische S-Bahn tunnel portal in Frankfurt's Ostpark are stressed by the construction, combining airborne LiDAR, multispectral imagery and satellite time series. My part: multispectral analysis (PlanetScope imagery, NDVI/NDRE in QGIS, statistics per tree crown) and coordinating our six-person task group.
Academic Projects
- Engineering Classification of Soil, Sughandha R/A, ChittagongUsing ASTM D2487-11 standard, a comprehensive geotechnical investigation was conducted for the Goribullah Shah Housing Society project site located at Sughandha Residential Area, Chittagong. The study involved fieldwork, laboratory testing, and data analysis to classify the soil types present at the site. The findings provide essential information for foundation design and construction practices.
- Structural Design and Analysis of a Residential Building at PinkCity, Raozan, Chittagong, BangladeshA complete structural design and analysis of a G+4 residential building located at PinkCity, Raozan, Chittagong, Bangladesh. The project includes load calculations, structural modeling using ETABS, and detailed design of beams, columns, slabs, and foundations following BNBC 2020 codes.
- Water Quality Test of a Specified Location in Chittagong (Karnafuli River near Shah Amanat Bridge)This study assesses the surface water quality of the Karnafuli River through the analysis of eleven key physicochemical and biological parameters. Findings are evaluated against ECR 1997 (Bangladesh National Standards) and WHO guidelines to determine the river’s suitability for domestic and environmental applications.
