Advisory Board
SOURCED integrates expertise of external partners by the help of establishing an advisory board. This advisory board is chaired by the project coordinators and joins the annual workshop to provide feedback on ongoing research and advise on emerging research directions. The following experts confirmed serving as advisory board members: Prof. dr. Wil van der Aalst (RWTH Aachen), Dr. Nathalie Baracaldo (IBM Research Almaden, US), Prof. Dr. Hannes Federrath (U Hamburg) .
Dr. Nathalie Baracaldo
Nathalie Baracaldo leads the AI Security and Privacy Solutions team and is a Research Staff Member at IBM’s Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA. Nathalie is passionate about delivering machine learning solutions that are highly accurate, withstand adversarial attacks and protect data privacy. Her team focuses on two main areas: federated learning, where models are trained without directly accessing training data and adversarial machine learning, where defenses are designed to withstand potential attacks to the machine learning pipeline
