Faruk Dziho

I'm Faruk. I work in the reliability corner of the electric-power industry, leading data and analytics on the state of the grid. I'm also a PhD student in AI/ML, working in two places: graph neural networks for the cybersecurity of power grids, and the security and cultural competence of large language models. This site is where you can find my essays, research, photos, sandbox with stuff I am working on or playing with, and a small library of things worth re-reading.
