About Me
I’m a Research Scientist at CSIRO’s Data61 (Sydney) working on AI security, deepfake & generative media forensics, and human‑AI collaboration for high‑stakes, real‑world settings (e.g., cybersecurity operations). I was recently named a finalist for the Australian AI Awards 2025 in the “AI Rising Star of the Year” category, recognising my contributions to trustworthy AI. I am also the organiser of these annual workshops: WDC at AsiaCCS and 3D-Sec at CCS.
Research Vision
I aim to make AI secure, adaptive, and human‑aligned. Practically, that means:
advancing generalizable detection methods that remain robust under distribution shift and novel attack vectors;
designing continual/lifelong learning systems that adapt with minimal retraining; and
building human‑AI teaming frameworks that improve decision quality and accountability in socio‑technical contexts.
My work spans datasets and benchmarks, detection frameworks, and deployment‑focused studies—with publications across top venues such as NeurIPS, KDD, WWW, ACM MM, and ACM Computing Surveys.
