Towfiqul Quadir

U. M. Towfiqul Quadir is a PhD student working under the supervision of Dr. Nur Yazdani at the University of Texas at Arlington. He is also the President of the Structural Engineering Institute – Graduate Student Chapter at UTA for the 2017-2018 session, which is currently the only student chapter of ASCE-SEI in Texas. He completed his Master’s degree in Structural Engineering at The University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia in November, 2013. He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) in Dhaka, Bangladesh in November, 2011. Previously he worked as a faculty member in the North South University, International University of Business Agriculture and Technology and also in the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Dhaka.
During his tenure at MIST, he also worked in several Detailed Engineering Assessment (DEA) projects of garments factories around Dhaka. He has worked in several research projects such as Behavior analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) jacketed RC slender columns and Development of sustainable green concrete using industrial wastes or by-products starting from 2014. His research interest includes Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) for structural strengthening, building construction, sustainable concrete, mechanical and micro structural properties of concrete, structural property and behavior analysis and retrofitting.
