Research Scientist at IBM Research and PhD in Machine Learning Security (pending viva) at the DoC

Javier Carnerero Cano is a Research Scientist working on trustworthy AI at IBM Research Europe (Ireland). He is also close to completing his PhD (pending viva) in machine learning security at Imperial under the supervision of Prof Emil C. Lupu and Dr Luis Muñoz González. His current research interests include trustworthy and secure machine learning, bilevel optimisation, generative models, federated learning, and machine unlearning. In his PhD, he focussed on understanding and preventing indiscriminate data poisoning attacks against supervised learning. He also did a research internship at IBM Research in the security of machine unlearning. He obtained his MRes in Multimedia and Communications, and his MSc and BEng in Telecommunications Engineering from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain, where he also received the Alumni Excellence Award. Legend has it that he used to have fun with antennas and electromagnetic sensors.
