Research Overview

My doctoral research examines how audio deepfake detection and caller authentication systems perform across different datasets and attack conditions. I combine machine learning, signal processing, and security-focused experimentation to study robustness, failure modes, and reproducibility. My wider collaborations apply machine learning to scientific spectroscopy, energy-storage research, and information extraction.
