About Me!
Hello, I'm Shadman Wadith. I am currently a PhD student at the University of South Florida (USF), where my research focuses on the intersection of Reinforcement Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing. I am particularly interested in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and Test-Time Adaptation (TTA). Prior to joining USF, I served as a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at BRAC University and completed my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in CSE at the University of Dhaka. Beyond academia, I am a seasoned full-stack developer with expertise in FastAPI, NextJS, and NodeJS. Whether I am architecting complex systems, solving intricate research problems, or unwinding with a video game, I thrive on continuous learning and tackling new challenges.
