Prof Mark Zwolinski has published over 200 refereed papers on subjects including cybersecurity, machine learning and hardware reliability. He has supervised 30 PhD students.

Siemens EDA
The Tessent™ product line within Siemens EDA provides hardware-based monitoring and detection technology that can operate without interfering with the operation of the main system. Being hardware-based, it responds much more quickly than conventional solutions. Unexpected or anomalous CPU transactions can be immediately flagged or blocked; faults or malicious attacks in sensor systems can be similarly detected.
