This research addresses two major internet failures: lack of access and lack of trust. By developing cooperative defenses that combine hardware, software, and collaboration between networks, it improves resilience against cyberattacks and enhances secure routing. The approach strengthens internet reliability without requiring infrastructure overhauls or changes in user behaviour.

The speaker develops a decentralised communication framework for collaborative robots (cobots). By removing the central server and enabling robots to communicate directly through estimating unknown variables, the system reduces cost, time, and memory use. This foundation supports efficient task allocation for applications like delivery and firefighting.
