My research lies at the intersection of Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and the development of Trustworthy AI systems. I focus on pioneering robust adversarial defenses to secure biometric data against unauthorized usage, advancing deep generative paradigms like Vision Transformers and Diffusion Models, and exploring Data & Machine Unlearning to build genuinely Responsible AI systems.
Open resource · Literature map
A filterable map of facial privacy research from 1999 to 2026: over 200 papers across eleven families, from blur and k-anonymity to adversarial cloaks, unlearnable images, template protection, differential privacy and machine unlearning. Every entry lists venue, datasets, models, findings, limitations and code, and the full set downloads as an Excel workbook.
