Curriculum Vitae
Myoungsung You
Objective
My research focuses on developing a high-performance and secure data plane for cloud networking. This encompasses three primary areas:
-
Programmable Data Plane. I design hardware-assisted data planes tailored to various layers of the cloud networking stack, utilizing SmartNICs and programmable switches. This approach offloads key network services from the OS and isolates network security mechanisms, enabling high-performance and secure data center networking.
-
Kernel Extension. I extend traditional kernel stacks to provide dedicated in-kernel network support for diverse cloud workloads. This includes implementing in-kernel network monitoring mechanisms for containers, ensuring fine-grained isolation between workloads.
-
LLM-assisted Systems. I investigate the use of large language models (LLMs) to automate the development of hardware-assisted data planes. This research aims to automatically generate implementation logic and generate effective security policies for cloud networks.
