My research expands in multiple branches of Computer Science such as Machine Learning, Computer Security, Cryptography, Computer Vision and Bio-inspired Optimization Algorithms. Currently, I am keenly interested in leveraging Machine Learning concepts to secure today’s computer systems. Another research drive is in securing Machine Learning algorithms through an adversarial approach.
