Research Students
Aqib Rashid, PhD Student
Aqib received his master’s in Computer Science from King’s College London. He is currently doing a PhD which is exploring how we can devise defences against adversarial examples in malware machine learning models. He is exploring this problem through his various research interests at the intersection of systems security, machine learning and game theory.
Xiao Zhan, PhD Student
Xiao (Nicole) received her master's in Cybersecurity from King’s College London and is now working on her PhD topic ‘Privacy Norms and Trust for AI Assistants’. Her research interests are at the intersection of normative reasoning, cybersecurity and human-computer interactions.
Hana Kopecka, PhD Student
Hana is interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and sociology. Her PhD is focused on the interaction between AI systems and users. In particular, she is interested in exploring how different communities interact with AI systems and how could this inform the design of more understandable AI explanations.
