Antonio Kung is a Lecturer with 30 years of experience in embedded systems. He co-founded Trialog in 1987 and currently serves as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO), leading product development and collaborative projects in embedded systems, privacy for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), ICT for aging populations, and smart grids. He holds a Master's degree from Harvard University and an Engineering degree from École Centrale Paris. His research focuses on privacy-preserving technologies in transportation systems, ambient assisted living (AAL) platforms, and real-time embedded systems. Key areas include securing vehicular communication networks, designing flexible distributed systems (Flex-eWare), and creating interoperable solutions for aging-in-place technologies. He has contributed to projects like the Sevecom initiative for secure vehicle networks and the TEAHA framework for open home networks. Dr. Kung has presented at major conferences such as the Transport Research Arena 2008, ACM Computers, Freedom, and Privacy (CFP) 2010, and the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. His work bridges industry and academia, emphasizing practical implementations of privacy-by-design principles in embedded and smart systems. He has been actively involved in interdisciplinary initiatives, including the European Commission’s AAL Interoperability Days, where he addressed complexities in managing AAL systems. His publications span topics from Ada run-time libraries (1980s) to modern challenges in IoT and aging technologies, reflecting a career-long commitment to advancing embedded systems security and usability.
