Pioneering AI for Cyber Security, Digital Forensics & Smart Systems
The UCD ASEADOS Lab investigates advanced artificial intelligence methodologies to address emerging threats in software-defined cybersecurity, multi-modal digital evidence, generative AI provenance, and resilient IoT cyber-physical systems.
Core Research Areas
Our lab focuses on four interconnected research pillars combining adversarial AI, distributed forensics, and secure cyber-physical architectures.
AI for Cyber Security
Autonomous anomaly detection, Software-Defined Network (SDN) defense, zero-day threat intelligence, and adversarial attack mitigation on deep learning models in high-throughput enterprise architectures.
