Congratulations to Collision Sciences Australasia's Rabih Sfarjalani, for his work on a 'Chip-off Recovery Process for Automotive Crash and Safety Modules'.

Rabih has reverse engineered the electronic architecture of European vehicles and developed a chip-off process that recovers data directly from the memory of Airbag Control Modules (ACM) and Event Data Recorders (EDR). This technique retrieves critical crash and event data even where the module has been physically destroyed, burnt, or deliberately tampered with. These are scenarios in which conventional tools simply cannot read the device. This is a genuine world-first capability, and it fills a gap that has long frustrated investigators internationally.
