Rakibul Alam is a Master of Engineering student in pavement engineering at the Memorial University. He completed his Bachelor of Science in civil engineering with major in transportation engineering from BUET. His past research include the determination of road crash factors of urban areas, identification of high-risk roads in national highway network, and a comparative study of the fundamental diagrams of traffic flow due to shockwave. He also served at the faculty of civil engineering at University of Information Technology and Sciences (UITS), as a lecturer.
