About

Dr. Nur Mohammad Shuman’s research is in the field of Geotechnical and Geomatics Engineering, with a particular focus on complex Finite Element Modeling and Geospatial Data Analysis. Dr. Shuman held a Ph.D. research position at Jackson State University. He received a fellowship from the Department of Transportation, Mississippi, for the development of an advanced landslide investigation protocol using geophysical methods in Mississippi. He worked as a member of a prestigious project “Climate Resilient Landslide Repair on Expansive Soil Using Vetiver Grass” which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Dr. Shuman traveled to Mali, Africa, in a professional capacity and contributed to various successful engineering projects in the Kidal Super Camp in Mali under the United Nations (UN). He also worked as a remote pilot at JSU and developed a digital 3D map of the JSU campus with UAS (Drone).

Dr. Shuman’s Ph.D. dissertation won an award for Outstanding Dissertation from Jackson State University — a commendable achievement for any student of the prestigious institution. Dr. Shuman also holds an M.Sc. degree in Geotechnical Engineering from Jackson State University of Mississippi, USA, and a B.Sc. degree from BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Currently, Dr. Shuman serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at North South University (NSU), Bangladesh. Before joining NSU, he held a similar position at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Bangladesh.
