The AstraQua team met with Dr. Adel Elmaghraby at the University of Louisville’s HIVE AI Innovation Studio to discuss agentic AI and cybersecurity. The company’s meeting account identifies Kosta Varnavas, Ross Pusateri and Loay Elbasyouni as participants.

The discussion brought together AstraQua’s focus on low-power autonomous systems and questions about security when connectivity is limited. These themes concern how intelligent machines can operate and respond as conditions change.

In a later public post, Elmaghraby also described bringing AstraQua into collaboration and expressed interest in developing the relationship.

The engagement remains a record of meetings and collaboration discussions. The scope, funding and deliverables of any formal institutional agreement would require a separate confirmed announcement.
