About Me
Hi! I’m Samuele Poppi, a Postdoctoral Associate at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), where I work with Dr. Nils Lukas in the Secure, Private, Open, and Trustworthy (SPOT) AI Lab.
I hold a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from the UNIPI and UNIMORE, focused on safe and responsible AI. During a research internship at Meta GenAI, I worked on LLM safety with mentors including Cristian Canton Ferrer and Jianfeng Chi. I’m currently involved in international projects to make AI systems more secure and trustworthy.
