Md Habibullah Bhuyan

Dr Md Habibullah Bhuyan is an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland, Australia. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering with an emphasis on soil mechanics, electromagnetic measurement methods, and pavement material characterization. He can be contacted at h.bhuyan@uq.edu.au.

• PhD, Geotechnical Engineering, The University of Queensland (2018)
• Masters, Geotechnical Engineering, Saitama University (2013)
• Bachelor, Civil Engineering, BUET (2006)

His expertise includes non-destructive testing of unbound granular materials, geo-hydraulic characterization of soft soils in saline environments, and electromagnetic monitoring of soil moisture, density, and deformation. He investigates drained/undrained shear strength, unsaturated soil mechanics, and phase transitions in granular media such as erosion and liquefaction.

Recent publications highlight railway ballast deformation (2025), tailings consolidation (2023), TDR sensor challenges (2022), and applications of electromagnetic methods in pavement and coastal engineering. Key themes span unsaturated soil behavior, erosion processes, and advanced geotechnical instrumentation.

His teaching spans 12 years across Australia, Japan, and Bangladesh, covering Soil Mechanics, Geotechnical Engineering, Advanced Soil Mechanics, and Transportation Engineering.
