Panagiota Kiourti
Redwood City, CA
I’m an ML/CV engineer and researcher interested in making modern AI systems robust, interpretable, and safe to deploy.
My PhD at Boston University focused on backdoor attacks and defenses in deep learning, with applications to vision and reinforcement learning.
Most recently, I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Carbon, where I built ML and 3D geometry pipelines for dental applications - automating 3D orientation and quality checks for 3D printing. I enjoy sitting at the boundary between research and engineering: reading papers in the morning and shipping code in the afternoon.
The correct pronunciation of my name is Pah-nah-yo-tah, but you may call me Penny.
Currently: based in the Bay Area (Redwood City, CA), open to roles as Senior ML Engineer / Research Scientist / Applied Scientist with a focus on AI security, robust ML, and 3D/Vision models.
