Dearborn, MI · 2026

I am an undergraduate researcher at the University of Michigan – Dearborn, where I study Computer Information Science with an AI Concentration (expected May 2027, GPA 3.8, Honors Recognized Scholar). I work at the intersection of AI security and generative modeling, with a particular focus on vulnerabilities in modern diffusion and flow-matching architectures.

I conduct research under two advisors: Dr. Ang Li (SURE 2026 program) and Dr. Birhanu Eshete (DAIR Lab). I also serve as the incoming President of the Artificial Intelligence Club (AIC) at UM-Dearborn.

I grew up in Rome, Italy, where I attended St. Stephen’s School. I conducted original research in wireless charging physics and battery electrolyte chemistry, and at fifteen published my first literary work, Rebel to The Light. I read and speak five languages: English, Arabic, Italian, French, and Turkish.
