Full Time Faculty M.Sc in Digital Architecture, Newcastle University, UK Office : +880-2-55668200 Ext: 1855 Room location: SAC 909, Department of Architecture |
I am an Assistant Professor and Chair of the Department of Architecture at North South University, where I have been a full-time faculty member for over 20 years. In addition to my academic role, I serve as Operations Director of the NSU EHS+ Center, overseeing its strategic planning and operational activities.
For the past 14 years, I have also been the Faculty Advisor of the North South University Art and Photography Club (NSUAPC), mentoring students in creative, artistic, and photographic initiatives as part of their extracurricular development.
Throughout my tenure, I have spearheaded several key academic and institutional initiatives, including:
My teaching portfolio includes day-long workshops supporting design studios (particularly those focused on tall buildings and complex functionalities), as well as theory courses in architectural history and construction methodology.
Beyond academia, I have professional experience in journalism, having worked at Saptahik 2000—a progressive weekly magazine—first as a Technical Advisor and later as a Journalist. In this role, I covered property reports and conducted interviews on architecture, development, and built environment issues.
Earlier in my career, I served as a Lecturer in the Department of Architecture at American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) from 2006 to 2007. My teaching journey began at Jahangirnagar University as a part-time faculty member in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning.
