My research focuses on building trustworthy systems. I address key challenges in AI-driven security technologies—such as bias, adversarial threats, lack of explainability, and privacy risks—to strengthen identity protection and prevent unauthorized access and fraud. With over a decade of professional experience and a deep passion for my work, I have developed technical expertise in designing and developing AI Algorithms to process complex multivariate data, including 1D degraded DNA signals, RGB and greyscale biometric images, 3D hyperspectral data, and RGB videos.
