The Negative Filtering or Negative Authentication (NA) approach utilizes a form of
complement profiles which resembles the censoring and maturation process of T- cells in
the immune system.

In machine learning, addressing financial fraud, Dr. Sanchez designed a situational


awareness framework that exploits different perspectives of the same financial data and
assigns risk scores to entities (e.g. payment documents) to improve false positive ratios and
assist the identification of fraudulent activity in huge and unlabeled financial data in
collaboration with Accenture.

In physical security, Dr. Sanchez is developing algorithms to assess risk in the integration of
information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT).

Dr. Sanchez is the founder and Chief Software Architect of the Open Source RFID platform
project. Dr. Sanchez' software systems are used by Samsung, NEC, NTT, Hitachi, Motorola,
SAP, IBM, and Microsoft. Other software initiatives are in use by Sandia National
Laboratories, MIT, and by several organizations in East Asia and Europe.

Dr. Sanchez advises companies in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
