Dr. Nur M Shuman’s research is in the field of Geotechnical and Geomatics Engineering, with particular focus on complex Finite Element Modeling and Geospatial Data Analysis. Prior to joining MIST, Dr. Nur M Shuman held a Ph.D. researcher position at both Jackson State University and Purdue University. He received a fellowship from the Department of Transportation, Mississippi for the Development of advanced landslide investigation protocol using geophysical methods for Mississippi. He worked as a member of a prestigious project “Climate Resilient Landslide Repair on Expansive Soil Using Vetiver Grass” which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).  Dr. Nur M Shuman traveled to Mali, Africa in a professional capacity and contributed to various successful engineering projects in Kidal Super Camp in Mali under United Nations (UN). Dr. Nur M Shuman also worked as a remote pilot at JSU and developed a digital 3D map of the JSU campus with UAS (Drone). His Ph.D. dissertation won an award for Outstanding Dissertation from Jackson State University — a commendable achievement for any student of the prestigious institution. Dr. Nur M Shuman also holds an M.Sc. degree in Geotechnical Engineering from Jackson State University of Mississippi, USA, and a B.Sc. degree from BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
