- An MS or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field, or equivalent research experience.
- Strong machine learning foundations and experience building, training, and evaluating models.
- Computer vision knowledge, including CNNs and vision transformers, and the tradeoffs between them at small parameter counts.
- Experience in at least one relevant area: synthetic media detection, image or video forensics, audio spoofing detection, generative models, or adversarial robustness.
- Ability to critically assess research papers, design experiments, communicate findings clearly, and turn research into shipped software.
- Evidence of research and engineering ability through production systems, publications, open-source work, or substantial applied projects.
