Researching IoT cybersecurity using LLMs + Logic Tensor Networks (LTNs) to detect advanced persistent threats.Explored RAG, clustering, MLP, and soft labeling before converging on a BERT + LTN neurosymbolic model that achieved 95% binary F1, 76% macro F1, 86% operational F1, with <0.2% false positives.Engineered deployment-ready IoT models via knowledge distillation compression) and network pruning (+6% F1, 20% smaller).Co-authored a conference paper (under review) on LLM-driven neurosymbolic AI for IoT security.
