M A Batin is a Graduate Research Assistant at the CSAAg Lab and an MSc student in Biosystems Engineering at Mississippi State University. His work focuses on synthetic data generation for vision models and on training reinforcement learning (RL) policies with digital twins.
Batin was a Research Assistant at the AVIS Lab under the supervision of Dr. Md Mehedi Hasan. He earned his B.Sc. in Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Dhaka, also supervised by Dr. Hasan. His fourth-year thesis on high-throughput wheat phenotyping resulted in a Q1 journal publication, WheatSpikeNet: an improved wheat spike segmentation model for accurate estimation from field imaging (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023).
He later worked as a Research Assistant at the MAIM Lab (University of Dhaka) under Dr. Abhishek Kumar Ghosh and Dr. Niamh Nowlan. There he contributed to a Wellcome Leap In Utero–funded project, Translation of a Wearable Fetal Movement Monitor towards Stillbirth Prevention, which developed a wearable device that monitors fetal movements to help reduce stillbirths.
Research interests: Computer vision, image processing, and robotics for precision agriculture, especially digital twins and synthetic data for training the vision models and control policies that agricultural automation needs.
