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.
