Applied Research at EV Lab

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

We do research that ships. Every focus area below is tied to a real product or customer engagement — AI for surveillance and forensics, threat-intelligence systems for cybersecurity teams, edge intelligence for connected hardware, and automation for OEM workflows. Less science fiction, more deployable systems.

FOCUS AREAS

Six core directions where our research feeds directly into the services we deliver and the products we build.

APPLIED AI FOR DEFENSE & SECURITY

Production AI systems for surveillance, profiling, document triage and threat detection — built to operate in mission-critical environments with auditable outputs.

Computer Vision NLP Anomaly Detection

VIDEO INTELLIGENCE & FORENSICS

Frame-level enhancement, multi-camera tracking, person re-identification and evidence preparation pipelines for law-enforcement and surveillance use cases.

Video Enhancement Re-Identification OCR

CYBERSECURITY & THREAT INTEL

Malware reverse-engineering, dark-web monitoring, real-time network traffic analysis and incident-response automation for enterprise and government SOC teams.

Malware RE OSINT Network Forensics

EDGE AI & EMBEDDED INTELLIGENCE

Compressing ML models for resource-constrained devices, real-time inference on edge hardware, and sensor-fusion frameworks for IoT and surveillance gear.

Edge ML Sensor Fusion Quantization

BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICS & PROFILING

Psychological profiling, intent detection, user-behavior modeling and graph analysis — applied to investigative workflows, fraud detection and customer intelligence.

Time-Series Graph Models NLP

HARDWARE TEST AUTOMATION

Automated PCB and sub-assembly testing for OEMs, vision-based inspection, signal-integrity analysis and diagnostic tooling that scales from bench to production line.
