Senior🎓
Top SchoolSara Farmer is an AI and cybersecurity specialist with 14 years’ experience applying data science to cognitive security, misinformation, and autonomous systems for both defense and social good. Currently at Dstl and as Chief Scientist for the DISARM Foundation, she designs disinformation frameworks and infosec-based reporting standards that bridge technical detection with human-centered response. She founded Bodacea Light Industries to operationalize “misinfosec” principles, co-leading community efforts like the Credibility Coalition and partnering with the Global Disinformation Index on independent rating systems. Her background spans academia, humanitarian tech and industry—from teaching data-for-development at Columbia and UMD to building UAV safety and information-fusion systems at Thales and in defence research. Comfortable with petabyte-scale analysis and ML security (MLsec), she combines rigorous signal-processing roots with practical governance and crisis-response experience. Colleagues describe her as someone who seeks hard data problems that deliver measurable social impact.
