- Explainable AI and Actionable Recourse in Cybersecurity
Research
I am well-known for my leading research into Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, specialising in privacy-preserving Explainable AI (XAI) and Actionable Recourse. I have a substantial experience in the design and development of AI-based systems using various deep learning and machine learning algorithms. My systems have been deployed in a wide range of areas, from cybersecurity to autonomous vehicles. Since obtaining my PhD in Computer Science, I have been actively involved in research exploring the intersection of cybersecurity, XAI and AR. I have successfully published my research findings in well-known conferences and journals.
My research areas include cloud and operating systems security, Security Analytics using CTI (Cyber Threat Intelligence) as well as Cyber-Physical Systems security in Industry 4.0. My research interests include Artificial Intelligence security centring around MLSecOps (Machine Learning Security Operations), Explainable AI and Actionable Recourse. I also actively research different areas of cybersecurity, including AI-based red-teaming and malware analysis.
