Research
While his research interest spans computer architecture and network systems, Dr. Luo's current projects focus on network processing with programmable architectures, deep packet inspection, and chip multiprocessors. Dr. Luo directs the Laboratory of Computer Architecture and Network Systems (CANS). CANS lab is supported by National Science Foundation, Intel, BBN, Xilinx and Altera. Previously, Luo did research on network processor design in University of California Riverside, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 2005. Some ongoing research projects include:
- Programmable Edge Node for GENI (PI: Yan Luo, NSF/BBN, 2008-2011)
- Programmable Network Infrastructure with Emerging Technologies (PI: Yan Luo, NSF, 2007-2010)
