Amir Salarpour

Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Clemson University, working in the TigerSec Lab.
My research focuses on 3D perception (point clouds) and the security of machine learning systems, particularly in the context of autonomous vehicles.

🔍 Research Interests

My current work includes:

• Point Cloud Processing
  Developing deep learning models for 3D data tasks such as classification, segmentation, and object detection using LiDAR and other spatial sensors.

• Adversarial Attacks and Defenses in Perception Systems
  Investigating adversarial vulnerabilities in RGB-based visual perception systems, with an emphasis on physical-world attacks that can mislead deep learning models in autonomous vehicles. I also design defense strategies to enhance model robustness in real-world conditions.

• Security of Autonomous Systems
  Bridging the gap between theoretical AI threats and real-world risks in safety-critical systems like self-driving cars.

📌 Current Focus

I am particularly interested in advancing the robustness and reliability of visual perception systems in autonomous platforms. My work includes evaluating the impact of physical adversarial attacks and developing practical defenses to ensure safe deployment under diverse and challenging environmental conditions.
