Currently transitioning from Johns Hopkins University to AMIAD on the Palaiseau plateau, I work on speech technologies, AI, and security, with a focus on speech anonymization, deepfake detection, speech-aware large language models, and speaker recognition. My research explores trustworthy and privacy-preserving speech processing, as well as national and international collaborations.

About me

I am currently transitioning from my position as an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University to AMIAD, on the Palaiseau plateau in France. I earned my Ph.D. in antispoofing for voice and handwriting biometrics through a joint program between LIUM in Le Mans, France, and Orange Labs in Rennes, France.

My research focuses on speech technologies, artificial intelligence, and security, with an emphasis on speech anonymization techniques, deepfake detection, speech-aware large language models, and speaker recognition. More broadly, my work explores how speech and related human signals can be processed, protected, and interpreted in trustworthy and privacy-preserving ways.

I remain open to national and international research collaborations. For students interested in future research opportunities, please visit the “Join Us” tab for the latest information.
