Background

I have been working since 2020 on R+D+I projects with a common focus on the domain of cybersecurity, mainly in the security of infrastructures, systems, and information.

My contribution to these projects focuses on i) the definition of the architecture of software and hardware components, as well as their development and implementation; ii) the integration between different systems and equipment; iii) the management of infrastructure nodes and sometimes the definition of their physical architecture; iv) the dissemination of project results in both scientific publications and conferences. Besides my R+D efforts, I also designed and manage an on-premise cloud HPC laboratory based on OpenStack for the development of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence projects.

Currently, my efforts are mainly focused on the research of security applied to artificial intelligence systems, evaluating the robustness and resilience of machine learning models in adverse events, as well as the detection of attacks and vulnerabilities in AI systems. Recently, I have been working on the application of defense mechanisms to improve the security of AI models, researching how transfer learning can be used to improve efficiency.
