The Embedded Systems Lab is specialised in the design of reliable embedded systems, and, in particular, in the development of HW- and SW-based methodologies for the validation, testing, and fault-tolerance of embedded systems with an emphasis on embedded processors and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Relevant research interests of the team are FDIR methodologies for critical (space) applications (Radiation effects analysis in FPGAs, SoCs, and CPUs; SEE characterisation with fault injection and radiation experiments; SEE mitigation approaches); Microprocessor reliability (Functional testing of embedded processors and SoCs; Fault-tolerant processors for mission-critical applications); HW security for embedded systems, FPGAs, and ICs (EDA tools for HW Security; Side Channel Analysis & Fault Injection attacks). The activities of the lab include R&D projects; consulting to industry on modelling, design, validation, and testing of embedded systems for critical applications; publications in top conferences and major transactions/journals; participation in organising and technical program committees of international design and test technology conferences; master courses for the design, modelling, validation, and testing of embedded systems; PhD research in embedded systems technology topics; and graduate and undergraduate theses on subjects related to the design and testing of embedded systems.
