About

I am a PhD Candidate at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, working in the SprintML lab under the supervision of Dr. Adam Dziedzic and Dr. Franziska Boenisch.

My research focuses on the privacy and security of large foundation models. I am currently focusing on privacy of multimodal models (paper coming soon!).

Previously, I studied at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, and worked on multilingual audio DeepFake detection and biometric systems.
