Hi, I'm Mansi Phute

CS PhD at Georgia Tech
My research focuses on the security and explainability of multimodal foundation models. I work on developing explanations for ML systems, analyzing them to identify vulnerabilities, and finding solutions to mitigate these issues. My work spans a wide range of application areas, including multi-object robust tracking in computer vision, developing defenses against attacks on large language models, and understanding large language models and the insights they can give us into human interactions.
I am currently a PhD student at Georgia Tech advised by Polo Chau as a part of the Polo Club of Data Science.
I have collaborated with designers, developers, and scientists at Intel Labs, Nanyang Technological University, and Dassault Systems.
