About the research group

In today’s digitalized world, cyber-physical systems (CPS) form the backbone of smart societies, integrating computational intelligence with physical processes. These systems encompass everything from smart devices to complex industrial automation, enabling seamless interaction between the digital and physical realms.

Research Focus 

  • to advance the design, development, and application of CPS
  • their integration with social systems

Our research lays the foundation for CPS through algorithmic innovations, software development, and computational modeling.

Our work spans multiple disciplines, including:  

Automation and control systems
Smart Energy Harvesting and Optimization  
Telecommunications and wireless networks 
Data science and artificial intelligence 
Information technology and cybersecurity  
Computer science and software engineering  
Information systems and human-CPS interaction
Space technology 

We generate scientific knowledge and develop cutting-edge solutions that position CPS as essential building blocks for a smart, resilient, and sustainable society. We strive to drive technological innovation, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and address complex challenges in CPS development.  

Recognising the critical role of CPS in modern society, we have identified key research areas that align with our mission and societal needs.
