Federico Cerutti is Full Professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Brescia. He leads the Brescia branch of the CINI National Cybersecurity Lab and is Honorary Senior Lecturer at Cardiff University, Visiting Fellow at the University of Southampton, and Visiting Professor at Imperial College London. His research focuses on the security of artificial intelligence, especially on how to learn and reason when data is uncertain, noisy, or incomplete. The common thread is building systems that do not merely output a recommendation, but also help users understand how reliable it is and which evidence supports it.
Background & research
Federico Cerutti is Full Professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Brescia. He leads the Brescia branch of the CINI National Cybersecurity Lab and keeps active international links with Cardiff University and the University of Southampton.
His research focuses on the security of artificial intelligence, especially on how to learn and reason when data is uncertain, noisy, or incomplete. The common thread is building systems that do not merely output a recommendation, but also help users understand how reliable it is and which evidence supports it.
In recent years his work has covered cyber threat intelligence, neuro-symbolic complex event processing, sound-squatting, human-AI teaming, and causal reasoning for cyber-physical systems.
