About The Position

Work with the Internet Security Group in SRI International’s Computer Science Laboratory, where cutting-edge research meets real-world impact. From securing critical systems to shaping the future of resilient networks, we tackle some of the most challenging problems in cybersecurity today. We are seeking a highly motivated graduate student researcher for a summer internship focused on high-performance, hardware-accelerated network monitoring. In this role, you’ll design and prototype systems leveraging technologies like P4, DPDK, SmartNICs, and GPUs to enable scalable, real-time security analytics. The student will collaborate with leading researchers, contribute to active projects, and gain hands-on experience building systems that push the limits of throughput, latency, and visibility in modern networks. This is an exciting opportunity to work on impactful, mission-driven research while gaining exposure to multiple projects and state-of-the-art platforms. You will be part of a collaborative, innovation-driven environment with opportunities to publish, prototype, and influence future directions in network security. The Intern will be able to work fully remotely.

Requirements

Current Masters or PhD student in Computer Science
Experience with hardware-based network monitoring and development of ML-based analytic tools in hardware platforms.

Responsibilities

Design and development of a GPU-based solution for high performance network monitoring.
The student will explore existing systems like IRIS and Retina and evaluate the feasibility of porting them to a GPU-based environment.
