Anshuman Suri

San Francisco, CA

I work at DatologyAI as a Member of Technical Staff, focusing on curating coding data. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Northeastern University, supervised by Alina Oprea. I obtained my PhD from University of Virginia, where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Professor David Evans (fun fact)David initiated the concept of Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers — so the next time an SoK paper saves you weeks of reading, you know who to thank.. If you’re curious where I fall in the family tree, here’s my academic genealogy.

During my time in academia, I studied the privacy and security challenges of machine learning models, both as targets of attacks and as amplifiers of risk; exploring how models can be exploited and how they transform the security landscape of systems that use them.
