About

Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi is a leading authority in systems security, with a particular focus on the integrity and resilience of embedded and autonomous systems. His research addresses the critical challenge of securing smart, interconnected devices—from industrial control systems and energy grids to robotic swarms and autonomous vehicles. Sadeghi’s major contributions include pioneering attestation techniques that verify the trustworthiness of devices operating in dynamic, collaborative environments. His highly cited work, "SEDA" (2015, 201 citations), tackles security in large-scale device swarms, while "DIAT" (2019, 67 citations) introduces data integrity attestation for resilient collaboration among autonomous systems like vehicular networks and search drones. Further, his "PAtt" (2019, 21 citations) applies physics-based attestation to protect programmable logic controllers in industrial control systems from cyberattacks that could lead to unsafe states. These works collectively demonstrate his profound impact on ensuring the safe operation of critical infrastructure. A professor at TU Darmstadt and director of the Intel Collaborative Research Institute for Secure Computing, Sadeghi’s achievements include multiple best paper awards and an ERC Advanced Grant, cementing his role as a transformative figure in cybersecurity.
