Md Miraj Arefin

I am currently pursuing my MS degree in Robotics at Middle East Technical University, Turkey. I am working as a graduate research assistant (GRA) at Medical Robotic Systems Lab under the supervision of Dr. Mehmet Efe Tiryaki. My research is focused on the "Robotic Ultrasound Imaging (RUSS)" system.

I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, Bangladesh, where I worked as a research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Md Abdullah Al Bari and Dr. Md. Ashraful Islam

Research Interests:

Robot Learning, Manipulation Planning, Physical AI
