Hi, I'm Ali

I'm a computer vision researcher finishing my MASc at Queen's University, where my work focuses on 6D object pose estimation — teaching machines to understand not just what objects are, but exactly where they are and how they're oriented in 3D space.

I build end-to-end systems: from training custom segmentation and regression models, to classical geometry (RANSAC, ICP, Horn's method), to deploying inference pipelines in real-time robotic environments.

Lately I've been extending into multimodal AI — combining pose estimation with LLMs to enable natural language interaction with 3D scenes.


What I'm working on

  • 🎓 Finishing my MASc thesis on template-based pose estimation (code open-sourced upon publication)
  • 🔧 Building a multimodal pipeline: pose estimation → structured scene representation → LLM reasoning
