Cloud-native, Cyberinfrastructure and Networks (CYAN) Lab

Purdue’s Cloud-native, Cyberinfrastructure and Networks Laboratory (CYAN Lab) investigates a broad range of research problems in network systems, including software-defined and programmable networks, network virtualization, and cloud-native infrastructure. The CYAN Lab focuses on fundamental and applied research in computer networks and cloud-native infrastructure. Our experimental design, implementation, and evaluation of networked systems enable the developing of novel applications and communication ecosystems.

CYAN Lab Research Focus:

• Cloud-native Infrastructure: Developing Edge/Cloud synergies for cloud-native networks with applications to 5G networks, multi-access edge and data-intensive science.

• AI/ML for Softwarized Networks: Approaches to combine application-awareness with machine learning and big data analytics for resource management in SDN-based cyberinfrastructures.

• Software-Defined Cybersecurity: Solutions for securing data-intensive networks using flexible, composable and virtualized network security architectures and frameworks.

• Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Research focusing on Application-aware SDN for network management, monitoring and differentiated network services in data-intensive networks.

• Programmable Data Planes: Exploring programmable networks and data planes for in-network computing, policy enforcement and optimized traffic processing.
