Biography

Kristen Moore is a Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO’s Data61 and lead of the 'Human-centered AI & Cybersecurity' sub-team. Her research interests are in the use of AI to augment cyber defence capability, with a focus on cyber deception and the generation of fake cyber artefacts. She was a finalist for the Women In AI Australia/NZ awards in Cyber Security in 2022. She was the technical lead for the Cyber Security CRC project “Deception as a Service” and is currently the lead for advancing AI in the Cyber Security CRC project “Augmenting Cyber Defence Capability”.

Kristen completed her PhD in mathematics in 2012 at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and the Free University Berlin, in Germany. She then held postdoctoral positions at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at UC Berkeley, and at Stanford University. In 2014 she joined Gro Intelligence, an agriculture-tech startup company in New York, which has since grown to be named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2021. In 2017 she joined Telstra, where she led a team to develop and deploy a collaborative Human-AI customer support system that was used by over 1,000 Telstra customer support staff. Since joining CSIRO in 2020 she has filed an international patent application and published in top venues including IEEE S&P, IEEE Euro S&P and IEEE TPDS.
