Early directions scoped for student-accessible, publishable work.

Trustworthy AI

Evidence Cards for High-Impact AI

Lightweight, reviewable cards that document what an AI system was tested for, what failed, and what recourse exists.

  • Trustworthy AI
  • Accountability
  • Evaluation

Applied cryptography

ZK-PatchAttest

Zero-knowledge attestation that a device or fleet is patched and compliant, without revealing its configuration.

  • Zero-knowledge proofs
  • Attestation
  • Privacy

Security

LLM Patch Gap

Benchmarks LLM-assisted vulnerability triage with a dangerous-error metric, measuring where models help and where they mislead.

  • Vulnerability management
  • LLMs
  • Evaluation

AI accountability

AgentLedger

Hash-chained audit logs with policy and taint checks that make tool-using AI agents reviewable after the fact.

  • AI agents
  • Audit & provenance
  • Security

Usable security

Evidence-Cards Trust Study

A human-subjects study of whether evidence cards help people calibrate trust in, and contest, AI decisions.

  • Human-subjects study
  • Trust & contestability

Systems measurement

FedEdge-Bench

A reproducible federated-learning benchmark measuring the real overhead of privacy, security, and verification on edge devices.

  • Federated learning
  • Edge systems
  • Benchmarking
