Gautham Koorma's appointment reflects the firm's momentum in expert witness services, complex software analysis, and AI strategy consulting.

LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quandary Peak Research has tapped AI and cybersecurity specialist Gautham Koorma to join its team as Principal Consultant, strengthening its technical depth in litigation and advisory services. Koorma brings over a decade of experience across intellectual property strategy, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital forensics, further enhancing the firm's capabilities in high-stakes litigation and technology analysis. His appointment reflects Quandary Peak's continued growth as a trusted authority in source code analysis, expert witness services, and AI consulting support.

"Gautham's background in both technical consulting and machine learning adds valuable perspective to our team," said George Edwards, President & Principal Computer Scientist at Quandary Peak Research. "He has experience analyzing a wide range of technologies and communicating those findings in a clear, structured way. As more organizations look to understand and manage the risks of complex software and AI systems, his contributions will support both our litigation and advisory work."

Koorma began his career in technical consulting, where he spent several years analyzing software systems in matters involving patent infringement, trade secrets, and breach of contract. His work focused on source code analysis, reverse engineering, and distilling complex technical findings into insights that supported expert testimony and legal argumentation.

Motivated by a growing interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning, Koorma pursued graduate studies at the UC Berkeley School of Information. His research focused on AI safety and media forensics, supported by a grant from the Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. His work on detecting synthetic content contributed to The Deepfake Fingerprint, which was recognized at the Nobel Prize Summit on Countering Misinformation, and led to a peer-reviewed publication on voice cloning detection at the IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS). At Berkeley, he also gained interdisciplinary training in information law and policy, product development, and responsible AI deployment.

After graduate school, Koorma joined an early-stage cybersecurity and digital forensics startup as a founding member of its technical team. There, he helped build machine learning models to detect deepfakes and other forms of synthetic media across images, audio, and video. In addition to his engineering work, he contributed to efforts supporting content authentication and verification workflows for journalists, researchers, and platform partners.

"Joining the software experts at Quandary Peak marks a new chapter in my career," said Koorma. "I'm excited to contribute to the firm's litigation support work through technical analysis and source code review, while also supporting organizations as they think more strategically about AI. This role brings together different threads of my work in a way that helps deliver value to clients across both domains."

As Principal Consultant, Koorma will lead technical investigations related to AI safety, software failures, and enterprise technology disputes. He will also contribute to Quandary Peak's growing AI strategy consulting services, helping clients assess risks, implement AI responsibly, and improve organizational readiness for AI adoption.
