My Work Journey

Visit to Gazipur Town Bordering Station, Titas Gas
March 2025 – Present

Visited the Gazipur Town Bordering Station, Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC

As part of training attachment, visited the site and gathered detailed knowledge on gas collection from GTCL and distribution processes to customers of TGTDPLC. This hands-on experience deepened my understanding of pipeline materials in real-world energy infrastructure, aligning with my expertise in corrosion resistance and failure analysis.

Research Experience and Publications

Assistant Manager, Materials Engineering and Planning Department

Jan. 2025 – Present

Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution PLC, Dhaka, Bangladesh

  • Presided over the selection and evaluation of the right materials for gas transmission and distribution pipelines, and planned the sourcing of these materials. Additionally ensured all choices comply with the recognized standards such as API, ASTM and ASME, which helped with making the system stronger, more resistant to corrosion, and reliable under high pressure.
  • Conducted detailed failure analysis and root cause investigations on pipeline materials exposed to harsh and demanding environments, such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide corrosion, applying cutting-edge approaches namely metallography, hardness testing, and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to prevent or mitigate future risks and extend asset life.
  • Designed and implemented materials engineering strategies to support pipeline integrity management, incorporating risk assessments, life-cycle cost evaluations, and predictive maintenance models. These efforts optimized resource allocation and minimized downtime in key energy infrastructure.
  • Drafted comprehensive technical reports, specifications, and presentations for stakeholders that included regulatory authorities and senior management, highlighting the strong communication skills in translating complex materials science concepts into practical insights for decision-making.

Undergraduate Thesis

Dec. 2021 – May 2022

Title: Theoretical Investigation of Structural, Electronic and Optical Properties of Graphene-like ZnO with Mo Doping: A DFT+U Study

  • Performed detailed analysis of structural and electronic properties of Mo-doped graphene-like ZnO (g-ZnO) using Density Functional Theory with Hubbard U correction (DFT+U), evaluating lattice stability, bond lengths, and formation energies to assess the impact of doping on material integrity and potential for semiconductor applications.
  • Investigated electronic band structures, density of states (DOS), and bandgap modulation induced by Mo doping reveal mechanisms for tuning electrical conductivity and carrier mobility, which are critical for the advancement of optoelectronic devices such as LEDs and solar cells.
  • • The optical properties explored including UV absorption spectra, dielectric functions, optical conductivity, and refractive index variations demonstrating enhanced photoelectric response and potential applications in photovoltaic and sensor technologies through computational simulations.
  • Using advanced software tools such as Quantum ESPRESSO or VASP for ab initio calculations, interpreting results to provide insights into dopant-site preferences and their effects on magnetic and optical behaviors, contributing to the theoretical foundation for novel 2D materials in nanotechnology.
