Dr Naveed Alam is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering and is conducting research at Fire Safety Engineering Research Technology Centre (FireSERT), Ulster University. Dr Alam specialises in structural fire engineering, structural earthquake engineering and in green construction techniques (concrete recycling, timber construction, agriculture waste in construction). Dr Alam is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Dr Alam has completed his PhD from Ulster University. During his PhD, Dr Alam has worked on the response of slim floors in fires. Following his PhD, Dr Alam has performed experimental work on large compartment travelling fires.
As a Lecturer in Civil Engineering since the year 2020, Dr Alam has been teaching structural engineering related courses at Ulster University. Dr Alam has also taught courses related to safety engineering, built environment, project management and mathematics.
In terms of research, Dr Alam has conducted experimental and computational investigations on structures in fire with focus on slim floor beams, travelling fires, facades in fire. His ongoing research includes, travelling fires, vertical garden fires, slim floors in fire, collapse mechanisms, fire performance of concrete with alternative cementitious materials, fire performance of self-healing concrete, collapse mechanisms of structures in fire, modular construction, structures under earthquake loads and more.
Prior to joining Ulster University, Dr Alam has worked with academics and industry in different capacities. He has worked as a researcher in earthquake engineering with academics and has served as a site engineer, structural engineer and as a project manager in Disaster Risk Mitigation related projects with industry. Dr Alam has also worked as a team leader on disaster response teams during his affiliation with industry. While working as a researcher previously, Dr Alam has developed damage probability matrices and fragility for the exisitng buildigns in the area of research.
Over the years, Dr Alam has expanded his research network not only within the UK but has also collaborated with researchers from different parts of Europe, Africa and Asia. Going ahead, Dr Alam is keen on working with researchers from different parts of the world in the field of structural fire engineering and structural earthquake engineering.
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
