CV

Md Hasibul Hasan Rahat is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Structural Engineering at NTNU. His research focuses on frost durability and low-temperature transport mechanisms in cementitious materials, as well as the characterization of cementitious materials, with collaborations involving Virginia Tech, Stony Brook University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. He holds a PhD and MEng in Civil Engineering and Materials Science from Virginia Tech, an MSc in Construction Management from East Carolina University, an MBA in Human Resource Management from the University of Dhaka, and a BSc in Civil Engineering from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology.

Dr. Rahat’s expertise spans advanced durability testing, freeze–thaw and chloride ingress mechanisms, microstructural characterization (including neutron radiography, transmission x-ray microscopy, isothermal calorimetry, XRD, XRF, TGA, DSC, FTIR, TEM, SEM), and sustainable use of recycled and waste materials in cementitious materials. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings, received the prestigious ACI Foundation Fellowship, and earned international recognition for his innovative research into infrastructure durability studies.
