Andrei Costin

Andrei Costin serves as a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Information Technology, University of Jyväskylä, where he actively contributes to the Secure Communications Engineering and Signal Processing (SCSP) research group. The SCSP group specializes in signal processing and communication systems, developing innovative methods for network and resource management with security as a foundational principle.

His research spans critical cybersecurity frontiers including Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and Extended Reality (XR) ecosystems, where he investigates privacy vulnerabilities, monetization frameworks, and attack vectors for emerging Internet-of-Brains (IoB) systems. Additional focus areas encompass IoT malware evolution, firmware security reproducibility, vulnerability prediction using AI (e.g., ChatGPT for CVE analysis), and cryptographic hardening of critical infrastructure like aviation ADS-B systems and maritime AIS networks. His work bridges neuroscience, communication engineering, and software security to address next-generation threats.

Dr. Costin's 2024 publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory toward interdisciplinary security solutions, particularly emphasizing cryptographic implementations (ECDSA) for resource-constrained environments including distress beacons and XR-BCI interfaces. A significant portion of his work addresses practical industrial challenges through SBOM implementation in DevSecOps pipelines and vector database applications for threat intelligence, demonstrating strong industry-research alignment.
