Research lab
A working map of AI-native engineering research.
The research agenda is organized around runtime systems, context engineering, governance, and how engineering organizations evolve with AI collaborators.

Runtime Systems
ArchitectureInvestigating how AI-assisted engineering environments should preserve continuity, make autonomy observable, and support responsible recovery from uncertainty.
Research Question
What must exist around AI agents before they can participate safely in long-running engineering work?
Current Finding
The essential design challenge is continuity and accountability, not raw autonomy.
Agent RuntimeSession EvolutionObservability
Context Engineering
ResearchExploring how engineering context remains useful, trustworthy, and durable across long-running work while protecting sensitive implementation choices.
Research Question
How should engineering context remain useful across sessions, systems, and decisions without exposing sensitive mechanisms?
Current Finding
Context quality depends on intentional structure, refresh discipline, and human-legible boundaries.
ContextMemoryRetrieval
Engineering Governance
EnterpriseDesigning governance models for AI-assisted engineering where decisions, constraints, and approvals remain visible and enforceable.
Research Question
How can teams increase AI-assisted autonomy while preserving review, risk management, and ownership?
Current Finding
Governance works best when it is part of the engineering system, not a separate approval layer bolted on afterward.
