OUR RESEARCH AREAS
Cellular Network Security
We study mobile network architecture to close the gaps that carriers leave open—like signaling vulnerabilities and patch deployment delays.
Device & Subscriber Anonymity
We develop methods to decouple identity from location, including blinded tokens and radio obfuscation techniques.
Mobile Network Resilience
We're testing off-grid mobile networks that can operate without relying on traditional towers—including mesh and non-terrestrial systems.
Emerging Tech & Threat Analysis
As new mobile technologies emerge, we map and track the vulnerabilities they introduce—before they’re exploited.
