About
A summary of my background, research, and training. For the full record, see my CV (PDF).
I am a final-year B.Sc. student in Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Dhaka, working on reinforcement learning for locomotion, optimization-based control of dynamical systems, and Sim2Real robot learning. As an undergraduate researcher in the MARVEL Lab, I am the lead author on deep RL controllers that recover rover mobility in deformable Mars regolith, learning locomotion policies where classical control fails under granular slip.
My interests sit at the meeting point of safe and preference-driven reinforcement learning, learning-based control, and neuro-robotics for movement. Alongside research, I build real systems, from STM32 flight controllers to ROS2 navigation stacks, and I care about closing the gap between what a policy learns in simulation and how it behaves on hardware.
