Projects

Ongoing
Secured Federated Learning

I am currently working on development of a privacy-friendly federated learning framework capable of handling Large Language Models such as Llama2 and Falcon. This framework integrates Secured MPC algorithms to guarantee high levels of security, confidentiality, and privacy throughout the federated learning process. Additionally, I have optimized the MPC algorithms, leading to a remarkable 93% reduction in execution time and a 45% decrease in memory usage per round of Federated Learning. This combination of capabilities positions the framework as a robust and efficient solution for privacy-preserving federated learning tasks involving complex language models.

2018

In 2018, I spearheaded the development of a Hybrid Intrusion Detection System, a technically advanced solution combining time series algorithms and deep learning techniques. Achieving a remarkable 93% accuracy rate, the system rapidly processes network data in 1/8th of a second, thanks to optimization and hardware acceleration using the Movidius NCS. A comprehensive data collection effort, including the creation of a private network environment, contributed to the system's unparalleled performance. This accomplishment underscores my dedication to cybersecurity innovation and data-driven precision.
