Hadleigh Schwartz

I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at Columbia University, advised by Xia Zhou, Dan Rubenstein, and Vishal Misra. I am broadly interested in computer vision, mobile systems, and security. Currently, my research focuses on detecting and preventing misuse of AI-generated video/audio. I’m a recipient of a Columbia SEAS Presidential Distinguished Fellowship and an Amazon CAIT PhD Fellowship.
Previously, I completed my B.A. and M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Chicago, advised by Heather Zheng at the SAND Lab.
