Teams
All teams are opened in Spring 2024!
Business/Finance/Admin
VIP, HSRN
Skills: Project Management, Logistics, advertising, Microsoft Excel
The BFA team focuses on efficient management and allocation of the VIP budget, ensuring smooth operations of the VIP, marketing and advertising efforts, as well as project management for various VIP projects. This team may also be involved with the HSRN expansion and logistics of deploying complex network solutions to new buildings in NYU.
Team Lead: Tia Kumar (tk3017@nyu.edu). Mentor: Jeremy Rowe (jr4121@nyu.edu)
Network Engineering Research
HSRN
Skills: Python, Ansible, GNS3, Docker, Kubernetes
This team focuses on the implementation and research of cutting-edge network solutions that solve challenges specific to high speed networking and the HSRN. This could include anything from multi-vendor system design, automation, etc.
Team Lead: Idan Lau (yl9727@nyu.edu). Mentor: Sharanya Patnaik (sp6163@nyu.edu>)
Deployments/Infrastructure
Corelink, HSRN
Skills: Python, Golang, Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, Shell Scripting
The Deployments/Infrastructure team is involved in GitLab CI pipelines, deployments, and Kubernetes-related development in general. The deployments include anything from networking applications, websites, ML models, and much more.
Team Lead: Nick Chao (yc6371@nyu.edu). Mentor: Remi Rampin (rr2369@nyu.edu)
Real-time Application Development
HSRN, Corelink
Skills: Data Engineering, Apache Kafka, Pub/sub Models, AI/ML Model Serving
One of the main use cases enabled by the HSRN is real-time or “closed loop” research workflows. Using the HSRN’s low latency and high bandwidth to securely transfer data to a HPC edge machine, researchers can incorporate real-time data processing and AI into their experiments to exponentially increase research efficiency. This team focuses on the development of infrastructure that supports this workflow, including data extraction, stream processing, AI model serving, translation of inference to acquisition control, and incorporation of feedback to the experiment. This team may work directly with research labs and use cases supported by the HSRN.
Team Lead: Kaiwen Guo (kg3354@nyu.edu). Mentor: Diego Troy Lopez (dtl310@nyu.edu)
Media Storage (NSF Grant)
HSRN
Skills: Ansible, Parallel File Systems, Operatings Systems/Linux
This team focuses on creating a general purpose high speed parallel file system to attach to the HSRN. Ideally, the storage throughput matches or exceeds the HSRN network speed. Use cases include big data training and storage and large scale media.
Team Lead: Open. Mentor: Robert Pahle (pahle@nyu.edu)
Network Security AI Research
HSRN
Skills: Python, Deep Learning Frameworks, Network Security
This team focuses on the research and development of a novel Network Intrusion Detection System using AI to detect anomalies on the network. The NIDS will be extended through SDN to dynamically alter what traffic gets mirrored through the use of Ansible to change filtered ERSPAN mirrors on our switches.
Team Lead: Zhengyao Gu (zg2187@nyu.edu). Mentor: Diego Troy Lopez (dtl310@nyu.edu)
Testing & Development
Corelink
Skills: Python, Node.js, web browser, C++, C#, Catch2, CMake
This team focuses on developing Corelink library APIs/test cases for both the client and server side to enhance user experience, optimize for efficiency and functionality, as well as allowing access to a range of tools and services.
Team Lead: Baraq Lipshitz (bbl5216@nyu.edu). Mentor: Robert Pahle (pahle@nyu.edu)
General Applications
Corelink
Skills: Network concepts, frames, and low-level data visuals React, JavaScript, Python, Numpy, Open CV, TCP, UDP
This team focuses on leveraging the advanced capabilities of Corelink to develop innovative and specific solutions providing tangible benefits to our users. These plugins enable researchers to operate in real-time between existing solutions.
Team Lead/Mentor: Zack Nguyen (atn5649@nyu.edu)
AR/VR Applications
Corelink
Skills: Unity, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, UX/UI
The AR/VR team focuses on the creation of immersive experiences by sending and receiving real-time motion data in AR/VR environments using the Corelink framework for a wide range of applications.
Team Lead: Olivia Feng (jf4209@nyu.edu). Mentor: Robert Pahle (pahle@nyu.edu)
Web Applications Development
Corelink, HSRN
Skills: Network concepts, frames, and low-level data visuals React, JavaScript, Python, Numpy, Open CV, TCP, UDP
The Web Applications team creates and maintains a seamless integrated suite managing workflows and facilitating communication/information across the HSRN team.
