Karthika Subramani
Research Engineer II
I am a research scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Astrolavos Lab. My research primarily explores the intersection of Usable Web Security, Web Attacks and Defenses, and Network Attack and Defenses. Most of my publications feature innovative solutions that quantify various forms of abuse and offer insights critical for developing defenses. This often involves scaling solutions through automation,, gaining a deep understanding of the attacks in question, and applying Machine Learning techniques to specific tasks.
I earned my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Georgia, where I had the privilege of collaborating with Roberto Perdisci in his esteemed Network and Security Intelligence lab. During my time there, I gained valuable expertise and knowledge in the field.
I aim to channel my passion for this field towards my goal of making cybersecurity more accessible and user-friendly. By bridging the gap between intricate security measures and end users, I’m on a mission to create a safer online world for everyone — one paper at a time.
