This section summarizes selected research interests and ongoing methodological work across digital forensics, cybersecurity, AI robustness, OSINT, and external exposure assessment.
Master Thesis Research
The main research activity concerns the operational robustness of AI-based tools in digital forensics. The thesis investigates how AI-assisted image classification behaves under clean conditions, adversarial perturbations, anti-forensic transformations, and out-of-distribution inputs.
