Biography —

Amir is a PhD student in Architectural and Building Sciences/Technology at the University of Kansas whose research focuses on applied artificial intelligence and computational methods for architectural and engineering knowledge systems. His work investigates how AI systems can interpret, connect, and reason over heterogeneous project information, including drawings, technical documents, CAD data, and other building records, to support traceable and evidence-grounded design inquiry. His doctoral research develops an AI-assisted approach to adaptive evidence investigation for interventions in existing buildings, integrating multimodal retrieval-augmented generation, provenance-aware knowledge graphs, and tool-mediated reasoning.

His broader background spans computational design, immersive technologies, digital fabrication, and human–computer interaction. His earlier work in computational design and immersive technologies has evolved into a broader focus on intelligent design and engineering systems. His recent work includes AI-assisted architectural archive analysis, CAD and engineering knowledge retrieval, source-grounded technical-document systems, and AI-supported spatial design tools, connecting architectural expertise with software development and applied AI.
