About Me
Hi! I’m Khoa Nguyen, a senior researcher and engineer specializing in AI and Privacy-Preserving Technologies.
Background
I finished my Master Degree at Tampere University in Finland in 2021 with a focus on AI and Cybersecurity where I developed a deep interest in building systems that enable machine learning while protecting user security and privacy.
Current Work
I am currently working as a senior software engineer at OpenMined, where I focus on building cutting-edge privacy-preserving machine learning technologies. More particularly, I’m focused on:
- SyftBox: An open-source privacy-first, offline-capable AI infrastructure that enables developers to build applications, run federated learning, and advance Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) research.
- syft-flwr: A privacy-preserving distributed computing framework that combines Syftbox and Flower. Enable federated learning, analytics, and federated RAG with secure job submission, approval workflows, and offline capability.
- syft-crypto-core: End-to-end encrypted communication and file synchronization for SyftBox using the Signal protocol
I have also been researching on privacy-preserving machine learning and AI Safety. You can find my humble scientific contributions on Google Scholar.
