Bassily’s NSF CAREER award will enhance data privacy
TDAI core faculty member Raef Bassily, assistant professor of computer science and engineering and co-director of TDAI's Foundations of Data Science and AI community of practice, has earned a $500,060 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation for his research in privacy-preserving machine learning.
Funded by NSF’s Secure & Trustworthy Cyberspace program, Bassily's project, “Extending the Foundations of Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning,” aims to understand the computational and statistical limits of privacy-preserving machine learning and optimization algorithms. He will then build a comprehensive theory that would enable the development of new privacy-preserving algorithms that can be implemented for widespread practical use.
