About
A summary of my background, research, and training. For the full record, see my CV (PDF).
I am a final-year Robotics & Mechatronics undergraduate working toward robot learning for locomotion across morphologies. My current research learns recovery policies for a wheeled Mars rover trapped in deformable granular terrain: mobility when contact is uncertain and no hand-designed escape recipe exists. This work was accepted to the Space Robotics Workshop at IEEE/RSJ IROS 2026.
I want to carry that problem from wheels to quadrupeds to bipeds, where richer contact and stricter balance make model-based controllers fail more sharply. I am drawn to reinforcement learning, learning-based control, and Sim2Real, and to putting simulation-trained policies on hardware. I am currently seeking a PhD, MS, or Research Assistant position in robot learning.

Research experience
Apr 2025 – Present
Undergraduate Researcher: MARVEL Lab
University of Dhaka · Supervisor: Dr. Sejuti Rahman
Lead author on DRL controllers that recover rover mobility in deformable Mars regolith. Designed yaw-projected reward shaping with entrapment-gated slip penalties (a safety-style constraint) and built large-scale, multi-GPU training and evaluation pipelines. The resulting paper, Escape Without a Recipe: Maneuver-Agnostic Mars Rover Recovery from Granular Entrapment, was accepted to the Space Robotics Workshop at IEEE/RSJ IROS 2026 (poster).
