General Information
Md. Hasan Al Rifat earned his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), graduating with distinction and securing the 7th position in his class. His undergraduate capstone project, titled "Development of Gabtoli Bus Terminal: Providing Modern Facilities," focused on infrastructure planning and facility enhancement in urban transit environments. His primary research interests lie in transportation engineering, with a focus on service quality assessment. He has conducted studies comparing the service quality of various types of pedestrian facilities using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods within a regression analysis framework. His academic pursuits also include an interest in the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and machine learning techniques for evaluating service quality in broader transportation contexts.
