Sophia Zhuge is a PhD student at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Cyber-Physical Risk. She holds a BSc in AI and Computer Science from the University of Sheffield and an MSc in Cybersecurity from King’s College London. Prior to starting her PhD, she spent six years in industry working as a software engineer and data scientist.
Her research interests focus on the trustworthiness and resilience of AI agents in cyber-physical systems, particularly the security risks arising from task delegation between digital and embodied agents, the propagation of risks across long-horizon robotic tasks, and the broader socioeconomic implications of increasingly autonomous physical AI systems.
