Research agenda

Security for intelligence.
Intelligence for security.

Our research sits at the intersection of security, privacy, and artificial intelligence. We study how to make generative AI systems safer and more trustworthy—and how to use AI to strengthen security analysis.

01

Generative AI Security & Privacy

Protecting increasingly autonomous AI systems across the full security lifecycle.

Research framework for generative AI security and privacy

Research scope

The growing autonomy and interactivity of generative AI systems are reshaping their security and privacy threat landscape, particularly as large language models are embedded in agentic systems with persistent state, external tools, and the ability to act in dynamic environments.

We identify and mitigate emerging risks—from uncovering hidden threats through black-box adversarial attacks, to systematically characterizing security properties, and ultimately enabling continuous protection at runtime.

Research topics04 focus areas
  • 01Red Teaming for Generative AI and Agentic Systems
  • 02Jailbreak and Prompt Injection Attacks
  • 03Agent Memory, Tool-use, and MCP Security
  • 04Agent Observability and Runtime Defense
02

AI Safety

Building confidence in synthetic media and the models that produce it.

Research framework for AI-generated content safety

Research scope

The rapid advancement of generative AI has increased the realism, accessibility, and scale of synthetic media, creating growing concerns around content authenticity, harmful content, and the safety of generative models.

We study both post-generation risks and model-level safeguards: detecting and proactively defending against DeepFakes, understanding attempts to evade detection and safety mechanisms, and helping generative models recognize and suppress harmful concepts.

Research topics05 focus areas
  • 01DeepFake Detection and Multimedia Forensics
  • 02Proactive Defense against DeepFakes
  • 03Evasion Attacks on Detectors and Model Safeguards
  • 04NSFW Image and Video Detection
  • 05Harmful Concept Erasure for Safety Alignment
03

Generative AI for Security

Advancing intelligent vulnerability research for high-value systems.

Research framework for generative AI-assisted vulnerability analysis

Research scope

The reasoning, coding, and tool-use capabilities of large language models and autonomous agents are opening new opportunities for vulnerability research in complex software, firmware, and networked systems that underpin critical infrastructure.

We combine program understanding, vulnerability reasoning, evidence-driven validation, and autonomous attack execution to improve the efficiency, depth, and autonomy of security analysis.

Research topics04 focus areas
  • 01AI-Assisted Program Analysis
  • 02Vulnerability Discovery and Exploitation
  • 03Automated Vulnerability Validation
  • 04Autonomous Penetration Testing
