Jean-Charles Noirot Ferrand

Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I am a member of the Security and Privacy Research Group, advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel.

I have received my M.S. in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as my Diplôme d'Ingénieur (M.S. and B.S. in Engineering Sciences) from the French Engineering School École Centrale de Lyon. I also received a B.S. in General Mathematics and Applications from Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University.

My research interests are centered around building more secure and trustworthy Machine Learning models. More specifically, my interests focus on foundation models and how they can securely interact with systems.
