We develop integrated systems engineering solutions that combine secure communications, AI‑driven decision‑making, and cyber‑physical architectures with human‑in‑the‑loop control. 

These technologies enhance coordination, security, and resilience across complex fleets and infrastructure networks.

UBC is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm people (Musqueam; which means 'People of the River Grass') and Syilx Okanagan Nation. The land has always been a place of learning for the Musqueam and Syilx peoples, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history and traditions from one generation to the next.
