Our research

Software for systems
that cannot afford to fail.

NEST connects software engineering, machine intelligence, and physical testbeds. Our work moves from foundational methods to deployable systems in aerospace, automotive, energy, and robotics.

Embedded AI at the Edge

Hardware-aware training, partitioning, and inference methods that bring capable machine learning to constrained edge platforms.

Dependable Embedded Software

Testing, calibration, and runtime assurance for systems where timing, safety, and reliability are non-negotiable.

Autonomous Systems

Perception, planning, health monitoring, and resilient software pipelines for UAVs, vehicles, and robotic platforms.

Smart Energy Systems

Embedded optimization and intelligent control for grid resilience, battery energy storage, and IoT monitoring.

Software Reuse & DevOps

AI-assisted feature discovery and certification-aware delivery pipelines for long-lived embedded software.
