+# Balik Research
+
+**Research at the edge of silicon and intelligence.**
+
+Balik Research is an independent research laboratory based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, exploring the intersection of applied artificial intelligence, hardware security, embedded systems, and experimental data science.
+
+## Research Focus
+
+### Applied Artificial Intelligence
+Domain-specific language models, intelligent agents, AI-assisted reverse engineering, and machine learning for engineering applications.
+
+### Hardware & Embedded Systems Security
+Microcontroller security, embedded firmware analysis, hardware architectures, and security evaluation of cyber-physical systems.
+
+### Fault Injection & Side-Channel Analysis
+Experimental fault injection, side-channel analysis, automated experimentation, and intelligent parameter optimization.
+
+### Data Science & Experimental Intelligence
+Bayesian optimization, statistical modelling, signal processing, and data-driven experimental research.
+
+## Open Models & Datasets
+
+Our goal is to contribute to open research through domain-specific AI models, datasets, reproducible experiments, and research tools.
+
+Models, datasets, and research artifacts will be published here as they become available.
