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 currently serving as the Chair of the Department of Architecture at North South University. I have been a full-time faculty member at the university for over 20 years. In addition to my academic responsibilities, I also serve as the Operations Director of the EHS+ Center at North South University, where I oversee strategic planning and operational activities.
For the past 14 years, I have served as the Faculty Advisor of the North South University Art and Photography Club (NSUAPC), mentoring students in a range of creative, artistic, and photographic initiatives as part of their extracurricular engagement.
Throughout my tenure, I have contributed to several key academic and institutional developments, including the revision of the undergraduate architecture curriculum, the establishment of the Building Research Lab, the enhancement of research activities, and the development and maintenance of the Department’s Computer Lab.
In my teaching portfolio, I conduct day-long workshops to support design studios, particularly those focused on tall buildings and complex functionalities. I also teach theory courses in architectural history and construction methodology.
Beyond academia, I have professional experience in journalism. I worked at Saptahik 2000, a progressive weekly magazine, initially as a Technical Advisor and later as a Journalist. During my time there, I covered property reports and conducted interviews on a range of issues related to architecture, development, and the built environment.
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, where I worked as a part-time faculty member in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning.
