Professor
Dr. Md. Robiul Awall belongs to the Department of Civil Engineering, Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), Bangladesh. He graduated from RUET in 2002 as a Civil Engineer. After graduating he joined as a Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering, RUET. He awarded an Asian Development Bank (ADB) Scholarship to take him to Japan in 2006 to undertake MSc studies. He was finished his MSc Engineering degree from Saitama University, Japan under the supervision of Professor Hiroki Yamaguchi in the year 2008 for the dissertation titled “Gust response analysis of transmission lines for interpretation of wind-induced vibrations measured in the field”. Also, an award of a Japanese Government Scholarship (MEXT) took him to Japan in 2009 to undertake doctoral studies. The Hokkaido University, Japan awarded him with a PhD degree in 2012 for the dissertation titled “Dynamic behavior of horizontally curved twin I-girder bridges under moving vehicles” under the supervision of Professor Toshiro Hayashikawa.
Coming originally from civil engineering discipline, Dr. Awall specialized himself in the fields of structural engineering; now more specifically in structural mechanics, structural dynamics & control, earthquake engineering, Structural Strengthening and Rehabilitation, bridge engineering and wind engineering. In recent years, his works appear/ being cited in different International Journals.
Also, Dr. Awall maintains close collaboration with various professional bodies and strives to contribute towards improvement of professional qualities of individual and professional bodies as well.
Dr. Awall was born in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. He visited 7 countries either as a researcher or as a tourist. He is married and father of two handsome sons.
