Machine Learning Engineer x Robotics Researcher
Ali Al-Bustami
I build practical AI systems that bridge software and physical machines. My focus is modular, deployable machine learning for robotics, autonomy, and real-world decision pipelines.
I am currently a Robotics Engineering master's student at the University of Michigan, after completing my bachelor's in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Jordan.
