I’m Timi! I work on building and developing AI and machine mearning applciations, often from the ground up. This has involved thinking of ways to build better RAG frameworks, building machine learning models for large, complex financial data, or orchestrating AI agents for traversing structured datasets. Academically, I also explored the intersection between AI safety and neural networks, and I wrote a thesis on the adversarial robustness of Spiking Neural Networks.

Adversarial Robustness of Rate-Encoded Spiking Neural Networks

Paper / Code

Diagram illustrating adversarial attacks on SNNs

As part of my Master's thesis, I wrote a technical report studying the resistance to adversarial attacks of rate-encoded Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) across various white-box and black-box attacks. This study explores the robustness of SNNs in different adversarial scenarios and proposes methods to enhance their security and reliability.
