Mustafa Mukadam

I am a Staff Research Scientist at FAIR (Meta), where I lead the manipulation and tactile sensing group. 

I am interested in robotics, machine learning, and AI. Prior to joining FAIR, I received a Ph.D. in Robotics from Georgia Tech where I was advised by Byron Boots.

Current openings in my team: Postdocs, Interns
