Professor Rahman has a Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET) in 2002. He was awarded the University Gold Madel for his outstanding academic record. Between 2003-6, he joined as a lecturer in Civil Engineering at RUET and was then quickly promoted to assistant professor.

He obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW Canberra) in 2009. The title of his PhD dissertation was - “Modelling the effect of fines on liquefaction behaviour of sandy soil”. Between 2009-10, he worked as a research associate and postdoctoral fellow at UNSW Canberra, Australia and the University of Canterbury, New Zealand respectively. In December 2010, he joined at UniSA as a lecturer and was promoted to senior lecturer and associate professor in 2014 and 2018 respectively.

Professor Rahman is leading many research projects university-wide and providing extensive mentoring support to early career researchers (ECR).
