LLM Jailbreak Attacks & Defenses

Developing systematic frameworks for evaluating and hardening LLMs against jailbreak attacks. Covers both attack generation (multi-agent RL-based obfuscation) and defense strategies, with emphasis on black-box and white-box threat models. Current work includes cipher-based attacks, multi-agent coordination patterns, and time-persistent jailbreak methodologies.

Vulnerability Detection & Analysis
Offensive Security Benchmarks
VLM Hallucination Mitigation
Efficient AI for Code Generation

AI-driven vulnerability detection and analysis for C/C++ code and binary programs. Combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with multi-agent LLM pipelines for memory corruption analysis. Current work focuses on scalable detection across large codebases and fine-tuning specialized models for vulnerability reporting.
