Mohammad Raouf Abedini
AI Security Researcher
Independent AI-security researcher and Cyber Security graduate from Macquarie University, available now. The work is backed by five DOI-archived preprints on Zenodo (indexed under ORCID), spanning offensive vulnerability research, privacy-preserving integrity systems, and citation-faithfulness evaluation for AI.
Lead author of "The Invisible Window" — a 12-page IEEE-format paper demonstrating 100% screen-capture evasion across Windows 10/11 and macOS 14–26 using only documented OS-level APIs, including the novel finding that Apple's macOS 15 mitigation remains ineffective on macOS 26. Findings were disclosed responsibly under OWASP/FIRST/CISA guidance.
On the defensive side: Project Simurgh's privacy-preserving device-integrity proofs and tamper-evident audit chains (three preprints), and Aion-BibleQA's citation-faithfulness benchmark for retrieval-augmented LLMs (R@5 0.941, zero unsupported citations). Completed AI-model evaluation for Anthropic (Claude Code Human Preference), with production code in Python, C/C++, TypeScript, and Swift. Focused on reducing catastrophic risks from advanced AI by measuring capability uplift, characterising safety boundaries, and shipping defensive tooling.
