I am an Assistant Professor at USC Computer Science, where I lead the FORTIS Lab. My research focuses on AI auditing — making AI systems inspectable, safe, and accountable. See my homepage for more.
AI systems are being deployed faster than they can be verified. I build the methods, benchmarks, and open-source tools for AI auditing: how to inspect and evaluate AI systems (auditing and assurance), what failure modes and attack surfaces to audit for (safety and security), and where accountability is not optional (science and society).
Creator and core developer of PyOD, agent-audit, Aegis, TrustLLM, and other widely used ML systems — 35M+ downloads and 28K+ GitHub stars. Used across academia, industry, and government, including by NASA, Tesla, Morgan Stanley, and the U.S. Senate.
