About me

I am Wassim (Wes for short) Bouaziz, a third-year PhD student at École polytechnique and Meta (FAIR) advised by El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Nicolas Usunier, and Max Nickel. My research revolves around AI security and safety, focusing on how training data can hide covert information that can compromise models integrity. I've worked on improving Llama 3 tool use safety to mitigate risks of tools misuse, and on using data poisoning as a security measure to detect the use of protected data in AI models. I am also interested in LLMs as agents, AI alignment, and reasoning.

Before my PhD, I completed a Master's degree at ENS Paris-Saclay in Maths, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning. I also studied at CentraleSupélec and Université Paris-Saclay where I majored in Electrical engineering and Computer Science.
