ASTER
AI gateway and model-routing tooling.
Independent Research & Engineering Collective
AsteriaX Labs is an independent collaboration of three researchers working on federated cybersecurity, malware detection, and renewable power for telecommunications, alongside practical engineering projects.
Positioning
The research is thesis-level academic work, each direction led by one collaborator. It builds on published methods and is careful to say which parts are existing work and which are under study.
The engineering is software built to be used: an AI gateway, a self-hosted media application, and the infrastructure behind our experiments. It is kept separate from the research and described plainly.
Research directions
Every direction states where it actually stands: in progress, replicating a baseline, or still defining its question.
Led by Will
How federated intrusion detection systems share knowledge across clients whose traffic differs, with a focus on prototype-based methods and rare attack classes.
Led by Yoga
Malware detection that combines deep representation learning with heuristic search for feature selection, starting from careful replication of existing work.
Led by Faisal
Exploring how renewable sources, particularly solar, can support reliable power for telecommunications infrastructure such as base transceiver stations.
Engineering
Engineering work sits beside the research, not inside it. These are working projects, not research claims.
AI gateway and model-routing tooling.
Self-hosted media organization and streaming application.
Computational infrastructure, notebooks, and tooling supporting applied research.
How we work
Every direction is labelled with its real stage. Ongoing, baseline, and exploratory work are presented as exactly that.
Published methods and papers we build on are named as external foundations, never presented as our own.
A trustworthy baseline comes first. Modifications are measured against it under documented conditions.
No figures, benchmarks, or outcomes are published before the experiments behind them are complete.
