Dr. Bao Gia Doan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow & Lecturer @ the University of Adelaide, SA, Australia
I am a Machine Learning (ML) Researcher and Lecturer.
My research specialises in the robustness and trustworthiness of deep neural networks.
My work frequently involves adversarial attacks and defences, ensuring that ML systems remain resilient under various threats. With a strong focus on the security and privacy of ML-based systems, I explore both ML for security and security for ML.
Recently, my research has expanded to include model inversion attacks and defence strategies aimed at safeguarding the privacy of neural networks.
Current Positions
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, focusing on the Robustness of deep neural networks.
My work is supervised by Associate Professor Damith Ranasinghe and Associate Professor Ehsan Abbasnejad. It involves collaboration with key stakeholders from the University of New South Wales, Data61 (CSIRO), and the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), Australia.
Previous Positions
Before joining the University of Adelaide, I spent nearly four years at Intel Vietnam, holding various roles.
I began as a Manufacturing Supervisor, leading a medium team of direct reports, and later advanced to the position of Senior Process and Equipment Engineer.
