Luca Pajola, PhD Student

PhD student at University of Padova. My main interests are Machine Learning (ML) and Security applications, where I focus on how to use ML for security purposes and the security itself of ML applications (Adversarial Machine Learning).

I obtained my Master Degree in Computer Science at University of Padova in 2018: the focus of my thesis was Hate Speech Detection, were I studied several state-of-the-art applications and found several issues in the topic: leak of transferability and easy manipulation of models.

Between 2018 and 2019 I spent one year in two Security labs: Security System Group (Aalto University - Finland) and the Security Group at Dartmouth College (USA).
