Embedded Systems Research Group (ESRG)
The ESRG focuses on three main research areas: embedded (hardware) security, hardware design, and IoT connectivity. With strong expertise in hardware security architectures (e.g., Arm TrustZone), virtualization technologies, and hardware digital design (including RISC-V-based softcore processors in FPGA), the group develops secure IoT devices while optimizing for energy efficiency and cost constraints. Additionally, ESRG actively contributes to the RISC-V International and the RISC-V open-source ecosystem, driving innovation in open hardware development.
