Hi! My name is David Khachaturov - I’m a 26 year-old Russian-Armenian computer scientist, academic, educator, and entrepreneur. I enjoy making use of all opportunities that are thrown at me. When there are none - I actively seeking out new ones!
Feel free to get in touch to talk about anything interesting - be that potential collaboration on projects, or to just discuss something.
Current

- I am the Lead AI Security Researcher at FrontierOne, a start-up working on sovereign AI security capabilities.
- I am a Bye-Fellow at St Catharine’s College, University of Cambridge. As far as I can tell, I was the youngest-ever fellow in their 550 years, being elected at age 25
- I am a supervisor for the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cambridge
- I have a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge, which I completed at 25 - pretty young according to most people I’ve talked to.
