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.

This project develops a 200-metre space reflector antenna using a modular “LEGO-like” assembly system. Designed for compact launch and robotic construction, it enables stronger, higher-quality interstellar communication. The work also models structural behaviour during assembly and could support building other large space structures, advancing deep-space exploration.
