Before joining at the University of Calgary, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Lakehead University (2018-2022). He received his PhD and MSc in structural engineering from the University of British Columbia, Canada. Before joining academia, Dr. Billah worked as a Structural (Bridge) Engineer at Parsons, Vancouver, BC. He was involved in various large-scale infrastructure projects in North America including the SW Calgary Ring Road, California High-Speed Rail Project, Turcot Interchange, and Regina Bypass project. He is the recipient of many awards and scholarships. He was awarded the 2016 UBC Governor General\u2019s Gold Medal\u2014one of Canada\u2019s most prestigious academic awards. He is the vice-chair of the Engineering Mechanics and Materials (EMM) division of CSCE, member of ACI Committee 341, Earthquake-Resistant Concrete Bridges, Member of American Society of Civil Engineers and Structural Engineers Association of British Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Resilient Infrastructure; Artificial Intelligence in Structural Engineering; Smart Structures; Infrastructure Protection<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Billah\u2019s research is focused towards improving our understanding of the behavior of civil infrastructures under various extreme load conditions. His research is drawn towards the development and application of advanced and novel materials in civil engineering structures and its experimental investigation, advances in numerical and experimental earthquake engineering along with development of advance modeling tools and techniques using artificial intelligence. He is particularly interested in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resilient Infrastructure<\/strong> Principal Investigator AHM Muntasir Billah, PhD, P.Eng.
