FARZULLA RESEARCH

Independent, self-funded research initiative based in London focused on adversarial AI systems, quantitative finance, and applied machine learning.

Organizational Structure

Status: Self-funded research activity operated by an individual
Trading Name: Farzulla Research
Established: October 2025
Location: London, United Kingdom
Researcher: Murad Farzulla

This is not a registered charity or company; it is a one-person research project publishing open datasets, software, and preprints.

Mission

Farzulla Research conducts independent research at the intersection of quantitative finance, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. We build working systems that demonstrate novel approaches to autonomous security, financial modeling, and machine learning, emphasizing reproducibility, open source tooling, and practical implementation.

Research Focus Areas

Adversarial AI Systems

Multi-agent security frameworks, autonomous red team/blue team competitions

Quantitative Finance

Market microstructure analysis, regulatory event studies, volatility modeling

Applied Machine Learning

Local LLM deployment, RAG systems, semantic supervision methodologies

Financial Crime Detection

OSINT-based fraud analysis, regulatory compliance mechanisms

Research Infrastructure

Kubernetes-native compute clusters, distributed systems for AI research

Research Philosophy

Build First: Working prototypes demonstrate feasibility before formal publication

Open Source: Code, methodologies, and datasets released publicly where possible

Independence: Research direction determined by interesting problems, not funding requirements

Reproducibility: Documentation-first approach ensures replicability

Open Science Policies

All research outputs comply with OpenAIRE Guidelines for open access and FAIR data principles:

• All research outputs publicly accessible via Zenodo repository with DOI assignment
• CC-BY 4.0 licensing (default) for publications
• Open source software releases (MIT/Apache licenses)
• Standardized metadata following OpenAIRE requirements
• ORCID integration for author identification (0009-0002-7164-8704)
• Research data management aligned with European infrastructure standards
