A global network where researchers, students, and companies converge on the open problems of automotive cybersecurity.
What is ASRG Academia?
ASRG Academia brings together researchers, students, and companies focused on automotive security. The platform lets young researchers showcase work, share knowledge, and engage with the industry's emerging trends in real time.
Collaboration over isolation
ASRG Academia works in the direction of building strong relationships with educational institutions, creating opportunities for students and faculty to address automotive security challenges using real-world data and live industry use cases.
Five focus areas
ASRG Academia organises its research agenda around the five themes shaping the next decade of vehicle cybersecurity.
Autonomous Vehicles
Connected Autonomous Vehicles, on-board services, and in-vehicle design — from sensor fusion to interior compute architectures.
OEMs & Supply Chain
Manufacturing operations security, secure software supply chains, and traceability across Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.
Security for Mobility Systems
Embedded security, EV systems, and the ethical questions raised by software-defined mobility.
Intelligent Transportation Systems
V2X security, edge computing, and the cooperative protocols that make vehicle platooning safe.
Artificial Intelligence
Advanced mobility infrastructure, AI-assisted threat detection, and trustworthy machine-learning pipelines for the vehicle stack.
