Character sheet.
Class: researcher, engineer, debater. Where I levelled up, and the skills I put points into.
Pick your hat.
Researcher, engineer, debater. Three hats, one head.
A good question is a good start.
I’m a PhD candidate at Transilvania University of Brașov, working in both directions: AI for cybersecurity, and cybersecurity for AI. I study the gap between how confident a model is and what the evidence actually supports. I also teach, coordinate student projects, and give talks on how AI systems get attacked.
PhD candidate / MSc Cyber Security / BEng Computer EngineeringRead about the researchIdeas deserve a working prototype.
At Siemens, I work where research meets engineering: security for healthcare devices, better ways to build software, and two published patent applications along the way.
Research meets implementationA different perspective? I’m listening.
Debate is where I test ideas under pressure: making a case, attacking it, and taking the other side seriously. It got me Best Speaker at DEBATTLE X, and a seat in the European Parliament as a student delegate.
Arguments welcome. Evidence encouraged.Known whereabouts.
