Scientific discovery increasingly depends on the ability to share and process massive amounts of data, and 成人直播 is taking significant steps to advance its research capabilities.

Ramazan Aygun, director of Research Computing and associate professor of computer science, received funding for his project, 鈥淎dvancing High-Speed Networking for STEM Research and Educations at 成人直播,鈥� and aims to establish a state-of-the-art research network at 成人直播 that includes science DMZs and a Data Transfer Node (DTN) server.

A science DMZ is a network segment designed to support scientific research that remains separate from the general campus network to limit interference from regular internet traffic. It also allows safe data transfers without jeopardizing the remainder of the campus network.

Additionally, DTN servers provide a consolidated path for the transfer of large files between researchers or institutions.

Ultimately, Aygun is facilitating access to secure and fast data transfer with specialized servers that can manage large volumes of data, which is common in research projects. 

The grant is Aygun鈥檚 second in this area, with the first coming in 2022 after he noticed that there was a need for a higher volume of data storage at 成人直播. That allowed Aygun to build a storage system at 成人直播 as well as to join the national storage ecosystem, the Open Science Data Federation.

This ecosystem enabled researchers to share their data sets faster and easier.

鈥淭he larger the data set, the more difficult it is to share, but the ecosystem enables researchers to share their data sets more efficiently,鈥� Aygun said.

Aygun requested more than seven petabytes of storage from the OSDF. A single petabyte is equivalent to one thousand terabytes or one million gigabytes.

To put that into perspective, phones typically come with 128 gigabytes of storage, so there is about 7,812 smartphones worth of storage space in only one petabyte.

To make these changes, 成人直播 needed higher-speed internet, so Aygun sent out a survey to the faculty and asked them who needed more bandwidth for their research and made a significant increase to accommodate the change.

鈥淎n outcome of this project, which began in December of 2024, is that we are going to be improving the network in five buildings on the Kennesaw campus and five buildings on the Marietta campus,鈥� Aygun said.

On the Kennesaw campus, the following buildings will be improved: Burrus Building, Science Building, Science Laboratory Building, Material Science Building, and the Social Sciences Building.

On the Marietta campus, the following buildings will be improved: Q Building, J Building, G Building, Norton Hall, and the new interdisciplinary STEM building.

鈥淲e will provide four hundred gigabits of connectivity to these buildings,鈥� Aygun said. 鈥淲e are building separate research networks on both campus, which are then connected to the research backbone router.

Aygun鈥檚 initiatives will enhance 成人直播鈥檚 research infrastructure, increasing its network speed and data storage, and allowing faster and more secure data sharing. These upgrades will benefit a variety of research projects at 成人直播, ranging from geo-economic multimodal systems to amphibian genomics and support Ph.D. programs in computer science, interdisciplinary engineering, and data science and analytics, along with 20 master鈥檚 degree programs.

Here is a partial list of types of projects that will benefit from this update as provided by Aygun:

• Multi-Protocol Backbone Network (MPBM)
• MPBM Genomic Active Robot Sensing in Agricultural Environments
• Trustworthy Machine Learner
• Geo-economics
• Multimodal Systems
• Advanced Biomedical Research
• Noninvasive Technologies for Healthcare
• High Power, Ultra Short Laser Pulse Propagation
• Self-controlled IoT Sensor Networks
• Mitigating Adversarial Attacks in Remote Sensing
• Stand-up Eye Test Recognition Systems
• Cyber Range Lab to Train Students on Cybersecurity
• Power Distribution Systems
• 911 Mental Health Crisis Detection and Response

Additionally, in order to train 成人直播 faculty and students, the Center for Research Computing offers workshops on utilizing national open cyberinfrastructure resources.
