NGIN: Next Generation Internet Research Lab
Building the next generation
of the Internet
The NGIN Lab builds AI-embedded intelligent distributed systems, measures the Internet at exascale, and pushes low-latency AR/VR, video distribution, and intelligent edge IoT to their limits.
I lead the NGIN Lab at Tennessee Technological University, researching AI-embedded distributed systems, exascale network measurement, and next-generation immersive and edge networking. My research has drawn $4.1M+ in funding across projects including Hydra, N-DISE, and TREN. I am a Senior Member of IEEE. I have served as General Chair, TPC chair and member, and reviewer of several conferences, including IEEE CloudNet, ANTS, VNC, and ACM ICN. I also serve as the graduate coordinator of the Computer Science department.
