Taimur Rahman is an Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator in the Department of Civil Engineering at the World University of Bangladesh. Since joining the department in 2012, he has become a key figure in both academia and research, specializing in the intersection of structural engineering and artificial intelligence. With a Master’s in Structural Engineering from Zhengzhou University and a Bachelor’s from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Rahman is passionate about leveraging machine learning and deep learning to solve complex structural challenges.
His research spans the development of predictive models, thermal analysis of long-span bridges, and advanced computational methods for enhancing the resilience and performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Rahman has been instrumental in developing data-driven techniques for structural health monitoring and seismic performance evaluation, significantly contributing to both academic literature and practical applications in the field.
In addition to his academic responsibilities, Rahman actively engages in scholarly publishing as an Editorial Board Member for the International Journal of Structural Analysis and Advanced Construction Techniques (IJSAACT) and as a reviewer for Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence. He mentors the next generation of engineers and serves on the Departmental Quality Assurance Cell (DQAC), ensuring high academic standards. Rahman has earned recognition for his published work in leading journals and for his commitment to innovation in structural design and safety.
