About the Lab

The Trustworthy and Secure AI Lab is based in the Department of Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology. Our research focuses on the security, privacy, and trustworthiness of machine learning systems. We study how these systems can fail or be attacked, how sensitive information can be exposed, and how principled defenses and careful evaluation can improve their reliability in practice.
