Abigail Goldsteen is a Senior Research Scientist at IBM with about six years of hands-on experience focused on data security and privacy in machine learning. She has contributed to the well-known Trusted-AI Adversarial Robustness Toolbox by implementing black-box and white-box attribute inference attacks and integrating membership inference methods, blending research rigor with practical tooling. Based in Israel and educated at the Technion, she brings a strong academic foundation to applied ML security challenges inside a large enterprise. Her background includes long-term roles at IBM and early practical experience at Intel, reflecting a steady progression from student engineer to research staffer. Colleagues rely on her to translate adversarial research into testable, production-aware implementations that strengthen model defenses.
