I'm a PhD student and EDIC fellow at EPFL, advised by Prof. Pascal Frossard in the Signal Processing Laboratory 4 (LTS4).
My research spans LLM alignment (jailbreak detection, backdoors, abliteration) and model merging (task arithmetic).
Before joining EPFL, I obtained my BE in Computer Science & Engineering from the American University of Beirut (AUB), during which I interned at MIT’s MadryLab.
