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.
At NGIN Lab, we're building networks that think for themselves: systems that sense, adapt, and heal in real time. Our work spans AI-embedded distributed systems, exascale network measurement, and immersive AR/VR networking, and right now we're leading TREN, Tennessee's first dedicated research and education network connecting universities statewide. I'm an Associate Professor and Graduate Director in Computer Science at Tennessee Tech and a Senior Member of IEEE, always on the lookout for curious students ready to help build the next generation of the Internet.
