PhD Candidate in Computer Science at CICS, UMass Amherst

I am Md Farhan Tasnim Oshim, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at UMass Amherst, specializing in HCI through radar sensing, applied machine learning, and autonomous systems. With extensive experience in contactless sensing, signal processing, and AI-driven perception, I focus on leveraging advanced radar techniques to enable impactful applications in healthcare and human-object interaction.

Beyond academia, I have held research roles at industry leaders like Tesla, Qualcomm, and Bosch, where I developed real-time solutions for radar-based gesture recognition, sensor fusion, and passive entry systems. Whether designing complex radar algorithms or implementing neural networks for critical perception tasks, my goal is to drive research forward, bridging real-world challenges and advanced technology.

My other passions include photography, hiking, and spending time with my toddler. Feel free to explore my publications and reach out if you’d like to connect or discuss collaborative projects!

I am on the academic job market, seeking tenure-track faculty or research-focused positions in Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, or related fields. My research centers on contactless sensing, radar signal processing and imaging, and AI-driven perception systems for healthcare, human-computer interaction, and human-robot interaction. I am based in the US, hold unlimited work authorization, and am open to opportunities nationwide.
