Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiorgio Severi is a Senior AI Security Researcher in Boston with 11 years of experience focused on adversarial machine learning and cybersecurity, currently testing and hardening major Microsoft and OpenAI generative models as part of the Microsoft AI Red Team. He blends rigorous academic training—a PhD candidate at Northeastern—with hands-on red-teaming experience from multiple Microsoft applied research internships, developing novel probing techniques and operator playbooks for multi-modal systems. His background spans automated malware analysis and data science at research institutions and industry, giving him a practical edge in translating attacks into mitigations. Colleagues rely on him for creative threat modeling and reproducible security experiments that surface subtle failure modes in production-scale AI. A playful GitHub persona (“on the internet nobody knows you're a sloth”) hints at a pragmatic, curious approach to complex security challenges.
