Code Research Lab

The Mission

Research that ships.

We pick problems a few years ahead of the curve, build a real prototype, and break it on purpose. Code first, slides last.

Build first

Every track starts with something running.

Adversarial by default

If it can't survive a red team, it isn't finished.

Open by design

Undergraduates get commit access on day one.

Specialties

Six tracks on the frontier.

Each track is an active build lane with its own repo and bench.

01

Agentic AI & Autonomous Software

Long-horizon agents that plan, call tools and verify their own work.

Tool UsePlanningMulti-Agent

02

Cyber-Physical Systems & Digital Twins

Real-time control loops and high-fidelity twins of physical hardware.

Real-TimeHILIoT

03

Neural Interfaces & Biosignal Computing

Dry-electrode EEG and EMG decoded in real time, cortex to actuator.

BCIEEGDSP

04

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Lattice-based key exchange and migrating real systems before the deadline.

ML-KEMLatticesMigration

05

Spatial Computing & XR

Headset-native interfaces, 3D reconstruction and Gaussian splatting.

AR/VRSplattingWebXR

06

Autonomous Robotics & Swarms

SLAM, visual navigation and swarm consensus that survives dead nodes.

ROS 2SLAMUAV

On the Bench

Currently compiling.

LiveTRACK 01

Swarm Orchestrator

A scheduler for fleets of autonomous coding agents, with adversarial verification passes.

PythonAgents

BuildingTRACK 02

Twin Bench

A hardware-in-the-loop rig that runs a digital twin against the real board and flags where they diverge.

SimHIL

BuildingTRACK 03

Cortex Bridge

Sub-10 ms dry-EEG acquisition and decoding, closed loop from cortex to actuator.

C++Real-Time

BuildingTRACK 04

Quantum-Safe Handshake

A drop-in hybrid ML-KEM transport layer, plus tooling to audit legacy cryptography.

RustPQC

R&DTRACK 05

Splat Studio

Phone-captured scenes reconstructed as Gaussian splats and walked through in a headset, same session.

WebXR3D

R&DTRACK 06

Swarm Mesh

Multi-robot coordination that keeps consensus through packet loss and node death.

ROS 2UAV

Recruiting

Build what's next.

No GPA gate. Bring curiosity and we'll hand you a track, a repo and a bench.
