01 — Profile
About me#
A lecturer and researcher working where cybersecurity, networking, and automotive embedded systems meet.
Febby Ronaldo is a lecturer and researcher at Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS), serving as principal investigator under the Penelitian Dosen Pemula (Early-Career Lecturer Research) scheme on the topic “In-Vehicle Data Communication Security as the Foundation for National Self-Reliance and Resilience in Software-Defined Vehicle Technology”, together with Dewi Mutiara Sari and Prof. Dadet Pramadihanto.
The research spans zone-based in-vehicle network architecture, Raspberry Pi-based automotive operating systems, and secure real-time data transmission schemes — from vehicle-to-drone communication through to cyber resilience in the electrical/electronic architecture (EEA) of modern vehicles.
02 — Research Focus
Three interconnected work streams#
Vehicle network security, embedded operating systems, and real-time data transmission — treated as a single chain running from the sensors in each zone to services in the cloud.
Automotive Embedded OS
Raspberry Pi-based automotive operating systems and Android Automotive OS integration in vehicle modules.
- Raspberry Pi
- Android Automotive
- Boot & I/O Isolation
Real-Time Data Transmission
Scheduling schemes and the SCTP protocol that keep data reliable and secure when the connection is unstable.
- SCTP
- Forward Prediction
- TSN
03 — Active Research · Early-Career Scheme
Research roadmap#
In-Vehicle Data Communication Security for National SDV Technology Resilience — positioned at the intersection of four topic clusters that will keep being developed, supported by three groups of expertise.
Embedded Systems · RTOS · Machine Learning · Software Engineering · Cybersecurity Fundamentals
Intra-Vehicle Data Communication Security in Software Defined Vehicles with a Zonal E/E Architecture
Computer Networks · Automotive Networking · Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) · Protocol Engineering

ACTIVE CLUSTERS
SDV E/E Architecture and In-Vehicle Network & Communication form the backbone of the ongoing research: zonal architecture, gateways, and intra-vehicle communication security.
NEXT DIRECTION
AI Security and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) — the hatched clusters — mark where the research is heading next.
SUPPORTING EXPERTISE
Control Systems, Model-based Design & Simulations, and Robotics and Automation act as supporting fields on the SDV architecture side.
04 — Laboratory
From diagram to bench#
The zonal architecture is validated on a hardware-in-the-loop prototype: zone control units, a gateway, a vehicle control unit, and an infotainment module running alongside a vehicle dynamics simulation.
