Hello and Welcome!I’m Masoud
I’m Masoud
Poorghaffar Aghdam
I used to be a software developer, but I quited. (why?)
Currently, I am a graduate student at Bilkent University.
I am trying to build AI based tools for biologist. (trying to save lives)
Additionally, I have endeavours to enhance the privacy of people.
I think, I can develop lots of stuff including myself.

A Reinforcement Learning-based Approach for Dynamic Privacy Protection in Genomic Data Sharing Beacons
Authors: Poorghaffar Aghdam M, Shukueian Tabrizi S, Ayoz K, Ayday E, Sav S, Cicek AE
A reinforcement learning-based approach to enhance privacy in the Beacon Project, protecting genomic data from membership inference attacks. Designed a dynamic defense mechanism that adapts in real-time to evolving threats, distinguishing between legitimate users and attackers.
