Md Mushfiqur Azam

Ph.D. Student, Computer Science · The University of Texas at San Antonio

Open to research internships

I work on egocentric vision and 3D human understanding — 3D human pose estimation, human motion forecasting, and human–scene interaction from first-person and VR cameras, advised by Dr. Kevin Desai.

Before my Ph.D., I spent nearly 3 years as a software engineer building production-scale backend systems serving 4M+ users. I'm actively seeking research internship positions in computer vision, 3D human understanding, and immersive reality (AR/VR).
