Faculty Profiles

Md Imrul Reza Shishir is a Lecturer in the Ingram School of Engineering at Texas State University, where he specializes in engineering graphics, mechanics, and AI/ML applications. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (2022), focusing on the fracture properties of 2D materials and neural network-driven topology optimization. Additionally, he holds an M.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from Inha University (2017) and a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET), earned in 2012. Notably, Dr. Shishir deepened his research impact through a Postdoctoral fellowship at North Carolina State University, where he advanced his work in computational modeling.

His expertise spans computational mechanics, advanced manufacturing, and the integration of artificial intelligence in mechanical systems. Committed to student-centered pedagogy, he emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning that prepares students for professional success. By bridging the gap between theoretical computation and experimental design, Dr. Shishir mentors future engineers to master the technical and critical thinking skills essential for modern, interdisciplinary engineering careers.
