Top SchoolAhmad Amirivojdan is an applied machine learning scientist and PhD candidate in Biosystems Engineering with over a decade of hands-on experience building computer vision, IoT, and embedded systems for agriculture and industrial automation. He has designed end-to-end research prototypes—customizing Mask R-CNN and U-Net for poultry weight/posture and flock mobility estimation, and creating a low-cost, real-time feed intake monitor using piezo sensor audio and VGG16-based event classification. Prior roles span full-stack product delivery (contributing to a horse-racing betting platform with 70k users and $32M annual revenue) to industrial R&D where he automated production feeders and implemented PLC control. Ahmad combines rigorous dataset curation and annotation practices with deployment-minded engineering, using tools like CVAT, Label-Studio, and Weights & Biases to bridge research and production. He brings uncommon breadth: from autonomous humanoid robotics and IMU firmware to cloud-backed data pipelines and real-world sensor systems. Based in Knoxville, he focuses on practical ML solutions that lower cost and scale monitoring in commercial agricultural settings.
