Hi everyone,
I’m excited to join the NVIDIA 6G Developer Program community. My name is Kabiru M. Salawu, and I’m based in Nigeria. My background is in cybersecurity, and I recently joined this program to explore how that expertise intersects with 6G research — an area I believe is critically underserved.
My current project focuses on AI/ML security at the physical layer. Specifically, I’m investigating black-box evasion attacks on neural channel estimators in OFDM-based 6G systems, using adversarial perturbations injected via pilot contamination. Alongside the attack, I’m building an anomaly detection layer as a countermeasure — to produce a paired attack-defense contribution that is both practically relevant and publishable.
I’m working with Sionna PHY (v2.0) as my primary simulation environment, and I plan to use the Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin for sandboxed attack testing in later stages.
As someone newer to the ML/communications side of things (my strength is on the security and threat modeling end), I’m looking forward to learning from this community and contributing a cybersecurity perspective that I hope adds value to the broader 6G research conversation here.
Happy to connect with anyone working on related topics — particularly around AI/ML robustness, O-RAN security, or federated learning vulnerabilities in 6G.
Looking forward to being part of this community!
Best,
Kabiru M. Salwu
