About Edgar K.
PhD candidate in Computer Vision at Binghamton University, working with Prof. Jessica Fridrich on media forensics and adversarial ML. I develop deep learning methods for detecting image manipulation, deepfakes, and steganography.14 peer-reviewed publications | 200+ citations | 2 Best Paper AwardsMy research combines rigorous experimentation with strong engineering - I\'ve built scalable training pipelines, managed 100+ experiment configurations, and open-sourced implementations that others use. I\'ve also applied this work in industry at Reality Defender and Huawei R&D.Graduating Summer 2026 and seeking Applied Scientist or Computer Vision Engineer roles in content authenticity, AI security, or media forensics.Let\'s connect if you\'re working on interesting problems in this space!
