Sydney, Australia

Hi, I'm Amir — a machine-learning scientist and founder.

I co-founded BIMLOGIQ, where we build AI systems for the architecture, engineering and construction industry. My work sits between research and practice: deep machine learning, real-world systems, and tools that people can actually use.

This is my corner of the web — welcome.

What I'm building

I'm a co-founder of BIMLOGIQ.

BIMLOGIQ applies AI to the architecture, engineering and construction industry. We build tools that help AEC teams automate repetitive technical work, including natural-language automation and drawing annotation.

The work is practical, but it comes from a research mindset: understand the problem deeply, build the system carefully, and make the technology useful in real workflows.

About

From the lab to the field.

A researcher's approach to machine learning, applied to real industry problems.

I'm a machine-learning scientist and founder based in Sydney. As co-founder, CEO and Chief Scientist at BIMLOGIQ, I lead an Australian technology company building practical AI tools for the architecture, engineering and construction industry.

Before BIMLOGIQ, I worked on machine learning and AI for decision-making at CSIRO's Data61, developing data-driven systems with applications across manufacturing, health, conservation and mental health.

Earlier in my career, I worked on machine-learning applications in mental health and computational neuroscience, building models to better understand decision-making in conditions such as problem gambling and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

My research spans reinforcement learning, deep learning and probabilistic inference, with a focus on modelling and understanding human decision-making. It has appeared in venues including NeurIPS, ICML, PNAS and Nature Communications.

I stay close to the research community as an Area Chair for NeurIPS and a reviewer for ICML, ICLR and AISTATS.
