Hi! I am Sadman. I am a second-year PhD student in the Center for Resilient Autonomous Systems (RISE) at UCI, advised by Professor Mohammad Abdullah Al Faruque. I got my Masters from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2024. My research focuses developing autonomous robots for real-world applications. In my recent projects, I have worked on 3D navigation in unknown environments, wrist-design for dexterous hands and identifying task primitives in human demonstrations. I am currently working on dexterous manipulation for domain-specific tasks. My work combines classical control algorithms with learning-based approaches for autonomous operation.

Before starting my PhD, I worked briefly at Meta focusing on networking for AI training/inferenece. I also had the opporunity to intern at HPE in Summer 2023 and at Meta in Summer 2024, working on AI/HPC systems. Before coming to UW-Madison, I obtained my undergraduate major in Computer Science from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and my undergraduate thesis was on Interpretable CNN .

For UCI students: If you are a Master's, or undergraduate student at UCI, and interested in working with me, please reach out. Our lab is equipped with humanoid, quadruped, manipulator arms and drones, and good computing resources. Feel free to email me if you want to learn more about my current research projects.
