About

Dr. Una-May O'Reilly is a Senior Research Scientist and the leader of ALFA Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. An AI and Machine Learning researcher for 20+ years, she is broadly interested in Adversarial Intelligence, which refers to the intelligence that develops and is leveraged when learning and adapting within offense-vs-defense environments. Her focus extends to Artificial Adversarial Intelligence, the computational counterpart of this phenomenon. Her fascination with security challenges has led her to explore settings facing cyber threats. She develops deep learning and evolutionary algorithms to model cybersecurity phenomena such as malware detection, cyber hunting, and the dynamic interplay of cyber network attacks and
