I’m Nazmus Saadat As-Saquib, a graduate researcher who is enthusiastic about pushing the boundaries of brain-inspired computing. My previous experiences with semiconductor materials and device fabrication have motivated me towards Hardware-Software Co-design. In pursuit of more efficient algorithms, I have now my focus in developing novel algorithms that mimic the sophisticated learning mechanisms of the human brain.
Beyond my research pursuits, I find joy in exploring the world and cherishing moments with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling to new destinations or spending quality time with family and close friends, these experiences enrich my life and inspire my work.

August, 2023: Joined as Graduate Assistant - Research (GAR) at RSW Memristor Lab, ECEN, Texas A&M University.
August, 2023: Started my Ph.D. journey at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA
July, 2023: Resigned from Power Grid Co. Bangladaesh (PGCB) Ltd. It was an amazing experience to be a part of a state organization. I have been working in project management and procurement related works, which are the skills not really taught in the academic arena. But these are really important in professional life, whether it's academia or industry. Thanks everyone at PGCB for this wonderful experience.
