Making intelligent systems more private, efficient, and practical at the edge.

PhD researcher at Western Sydney University, exploring secure machine learning inference across resource-constrained devices and distributed systems.

Research with real-world
constraints.

Privacy guarantees are only meaningful when systems can deliver useful results within practical limits. My work examines how privacy, prediction quality, computation, communication, and energy interact at the edge.

03Research questions
SMCSecure multi-party inference
Edge AIResource-aware execution

Three connected
questions.

From understanding the privacy and resource trade-offs, to developing and evaluating complementary optimisations for secure inference.

RQ 01
◇

Measure the trade-offs

Compare evaluated differential privacy, fully homomorphic encryption, and secure multi-party computation configurations, without treating their guarantees as equivalent.

RQ 02
⌘

Optimise the workload

Reduce secure-inference cost using accuracy-constrained numerical selection, preprocessing, authorised splitting, and adaptive scheduling.

RQ 03
✳

Optimise the protocol

Evaluate fused secure non-linear operations alongside straggler-aware party selection in distributed edge settings.
