Prof Dr. Wasim Khaliq received his Ph.D. degree in civil (structural) engineering from Michigan State University (MSU), East Lansing, MI, USA in 2012. His research involved performance characterization of high performance concrete materials and structures under fire conditions. He was also involved in setting up of Civil Infrastructure Lab (CIL) at Michigan State University for thermal and mechanical properties of concrete both at ambient and high temperatures with state-of-the-art equipment. He has over 30 publications in renowned international journals. He joined the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan as Assistant Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2012 and is involved in teaching and research for reinforced concrete structures. His experience involves the analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. He is currently working as Principal& Dean National Institute of Transportation, Risalpur, Pakistan. Behavior of high performance concrete under fire conditions, performance characterization of construction steel and high strength steel bolts, numerical modeling for fire resistance evaluation of reinforced concrete structural members, behavior changes of RC structures with use of different pozzolans and fibers under fire conditions, and self-healing in concrete.
