Bamboo Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Dr. Md Zillur Rahman is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh. He received his Ph.D. and M.Eng. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and his B.Sc. (Eng.) degree from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. His research interests include fiber-reinforced polymer composites, nanocomposites, hybrid composites, biocomposites, fiber-reinforced concrete, bio-inspired design, computational modeling and simulation, and structural vibration and damping. His research also focuses on processing–structure–property relationships, mechanical and thermomechanical performance, environmental degradation, and long-term durability of advanced composite materials, with particular emphasis on sustainable natural fiber-reinforced composites, textile-reinforced concrete, and FRP-reinforced concrete structures. Dr. Rahman has authored more than 160 scholarly publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. He is currently editing several scholarly books with leading international publishers, including Elsevier, Springer, the American Chemical Society (ACS), and Wiley–Scrivener. He has been included in the Stanford–Elsevier list of the world's top 2% scientists in both 2025 and 2026.
