Md Shofiqul Islam is a faculty member specializing in coastal engineering, with a primary research focus on sediment transport within and beyond the surf zone. His work aims to better understand the complex dynamics of coastal sediment movement, which is essential for managing beach nourishment, coastal erosion, and ecosystem preservation.
In addition to sediment transport, his research interests include disaster prevention, coastal environmental protection, and risk assessment. By combining field and laboratory experiments with advanced numerical simulations (by XBeach, Delft3D, CADMUS Surf 2D, etc.), his research seeks to elucidate key coastal phenomena and develop effective solutions to pressing environmental and engineering challenges.
With extensive experience working in the Coastal Engineering Lab at Yokohama National University, Japan, he is committed to fostering interdisciplinary collaborations with students, researchers, and industry professionals to solve complex coastal challenges.
