Hi! I'm Toluwani and I am on a never-ending quest to understand human and artificial minds. If you're into brains, philosophy, or figuring out how AI can be less of a black box and more of a trustworthy companion, aligned with human values, we'll get along just fine.

I am generally interested in AI Safety and Security. Currently, for my PhD research, I am exploring robust and strong watermarking techniques for Generative AI.
Here are some specific areas I am interested in:

As a student at MBZUAI, I served as a Research Assistant at the SPriNT-AI Lab, collaborating with Dr. Karthik Nandakumar.. My primary focus was the development of an innovative method known as PolyKervNets, designed to address the Accuracy-Efficiency challenge within Deep Neural Networks, particularly in the context of private inference (PI). Additionally, I embarked on personal projects covering Accented Speech Recognition, Racial Bias Mitigation in SSLs, and Gender Bias Mitigation in Word Embeddings.
During my Applied Science Internship at G42, I played a pivotal role in developing a toolkit aimed at streamlining the preprocessing of the NHANES dataset, ultimately facilitating model utilization, result reproduction, and TRIPOD statement extraction. Subsequently, as an AI research assistant at MBZUAI Metaverse Lab under the guidance of Prof. Abdulmotaleb El Saddik, I got a patent for an innovative project called ScholarFace.
My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Adeleke University, Nigeria, and a subsequent Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. More recently, I achieved a Research-focused Master of Science in Machine Learning at the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in December 2022. Presently, I am a final year PhD Candidate in Machine Learning at MBZUAI, working under the guidance of Dr. Nils Lukas. I am also visiting CFAR at A*STAR, hosted by Dr. Jie Zhang.
