Professional Summary
Dr. Ali Ahmed is a full-time Professor and Chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering of Bangladesh University of Business & Technology. Since the inception of his teaching career, he took challenges to raise the quality of education of the Civil Engineering Program to a higher level. When he worked at Stamford University Bangladesh, he had been specially engaged in BAETE Accreditation Committee to establish an outcome-based education approach in the Department of Civil Engineering. Dr. Ahmed has built up his academic and research career in the Structural Engineering field since 1992. His Master’s and Ph.D. studies and research in Japan included modeling and FE analysis of semi-rigid steel frame bolted beam-to-column connections using Abaqus and came out with eight conference articles and four international journal papers. He also completed his second master’s degree in Canada, where he worked on designing response spectrum based on uniform hazard spectral format using 4th genera
