# Thomas Carr, Ph.D. > AI researcher and software engineer. Ph.D. in Computing and Information Systems (UNC Charlotte, May 2026). Research focus: privacy-preserving machine learning on skeleton-based motion data. Thomas Carr is currently an AI & Software Engineer at Incerta Intelligence, working on multimodal fusion for explainable and auditable decision support in defense contexts. He earned his Ph.D. in Computing and Information Systems from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in May 2026, with a dissertation titled "Preserving User Privacy on Skeleton-Based Motion Data." His research program introduced a family of attack and defense models (LAN, PMR, DisentangledTMR, MIRAGE) that characterize the privacy–utility trade-off for skeleton motion in virtual-reality settings.
