Ismat Jarin

My name is Ismat Jarin. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I obtained my MS degree in CS from UC Irvine and CIS  from University of Michigan. Previously, I was a Graduate Research Assistant at Data Driven Security and Privacy Lab under Professor Birhanu Eshete . I have been working as a PhD student at UCI, under ProperAI ( Engineering+ Society Institute for AI), ProperData and Networking Group from fall 2022 under Professor Athina Markopoulou. 

My research focuses on Security, Privacy, and Trustworthiness in emerging intelligent systems—including ML, LLMs and AI agents, extended reality (XR/VR), and distributed machine learning. I develop auditing and evaluation methods to assess policy compliance, conduct risk and privacy analyses, and design privacy-preserving and trustworthy ML techniques. 

In my personal life, I like to read novels, writing poems, cook and travel. I also have deep passion for self defense and yoga!
