Dr. Sharmin Nasrin has joined as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at University of Asia Pacific in Spring 2016. Dr. Sharmin Nasrin completed Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) from University of Madras, India in 2000. Followed by that on 2003 she received Master of Environmental Engineering degree from the University of Melbourne, Australia. She joined Department of Main Roads and Transport, Queensland, Australia as a Graduate engineer and worked there from 2005 to 2010. In 2010 she joined Queensland University of Technology (QUT) as a Master by Research student. Then after completion of articulation since 2011 she studied full time towards PhD. She also has been awarded Australian Postgraduate Award for PhD. In her PhD Sharmin translated BRT plans into the operating system and identified the urban area’s own specific needs, opportunities and constraints considering Dhaka as a case study. For doing that Sharmin conducted extensive travel survey on commuters in Dhaka for the work trip. She identified the acceptability of Bus Rapid Transit to commuters in Dhaka by comparing mode choice model developed with both Revealed Preference and Stated Preference Survey data. Ultimately her research made a substantial contribution by identifying the importance of stability in governance for success of any major mass transit project in a developing country’s megacity. 

From May 2015 to December 2015 Sharmin worked BCL Associates Ltd. (BCL) in Bangladesh as a Transport Planner and Environmental Engineer. In BCL she worked in Japan International cooperation Agency (JICA) funded ‘City Governance’ project. She also worked as an Assistant Professor in Presidency University, Bangladesh from January 2016 to April 2016.
