Why truth survives in some systems and disappears in others.
I study the infrastructure beneath persuasion.
When reality is cheap to forge, trust becomes policy.
I validate what holds when evidence is contested.
The work sits at the intersection of building and research because the problem lives in both places: what we publish, and what platforms reward. Deepfakes make the stakes explicit: when the veracity of evidence is in question, trust must be operationalized.
