Incoming PhD Student @ UT Austin
Bangladesh
Reinforcement Learning, VLMs, Mulimodal Learning
I am an incoming ECE Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), where I worked with Prof. Kamrul Hasan. In my thesis, I developed a novel multi-stage unsupervised deep learning framework for optical-flow estimation.
My current research focuses on unsupervised RL, Reasoning in multimodal foundation models, and mulit-agentic RL. I am also exploring multimodal semantic understanding of World Models.
