Directory profile for Dr. Anwarul Haque

Dr. Haque is a professor emeritus in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Alabama (UA), USA. He received a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Auburn University, USA, in 1995. His field of expertise is solid mechanics, structures, and composite materials. His research focuses on computational stress analysis, fracture and damage mechanics, impact and high-strain-rate loading, additive manufacturing, and nano- and advanced composite materials. He has been working in the field of composite materials for more than thirty years.

His research projects are sponsored by US government agencies, NASA, NSF, Army, Navy, DOE, and private companies 3M and Boeing. Dr. Haque has worked on developing a two-phase composite armor vehicle structure as part of an Army project. He worked on a 3D crack-propagation problem related to “Beta Factor Calculation for F-77 Fuselage,” sponsored by Mercer Research Corporation. He studied the damage tolerance of ceramic-matrix composites for a propulsion engine component sponsored by the NASA Glenn Research Center.

Dr. Haque extensively studied 2D graphene-based composites using atomistic/peri dynamics simulations and additive manufacturing of thermoset composites via high-rate frontal polymerization. He has been an invited speaker at many national and international conferences and has published more than one hundred research articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings.

He is a Fulbright scholar and taught at the European University of Madrid, Spain, in 2020, and at the Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET), Bangladesh, in 2025. Prof. Haque has served as a UA focal point in Airbus Group University Partnership Program (AGUPP) during the period 2013-2017 and participated in many national and global workshops/conferences held in the UK, France, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, Egypt, Belgium, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, and China.
