Dmitrii Usynin is a Senior Privacy Researcher based in Munich with 15 years of experience at the intersection of secure computing, privacy-preserving ML and decentralisation. He blends academic rigor from a joint PhD program (Imperial College / TUM) and hands-on industry research at Huawei, Microsoft Research, Brave and OpenMined, focusing on differential privacy, federated learning and secure enclaves for LLMs and healthcare data. Dmitrii has translated research into practice—building DP training frameworks, privacy-preserving synthetic data pipelines and automation tooling for trusted deployments—and has experience improving CI/CD and container workflows in notable open-source projects. He also brings a strategic lens from venture investing at Creator Fund, sourcing deep-tech startups while maintaining active research contributions to Flashbots and other privacy-focused communities. Notably, his work spans both agentic LLM security and non-IID federated systems, demonstrating a rare combination of theoretical depth and production-focused engineering.
