Senior🎓
Top SchoolBoyuan Yan is a network engineer and PhD researcher with 11 years’ experience designing flexible, intelligent control for optical, IP, and 5G networks. He blends academic expertise in multi-domain resource allocation and SDN with hands-on development—having extended ONOS test frameworks and automation for optical TAPI and ODTN services. After contributing to SDN controllers and simulators early in his career, he moved into applied AI for networking, exploring on-board data-plane intelligence, centralized control-plane ML, and automated application-plane inference. His industry experience includes roles at Alibaba Cloud, a visiting scholar stint at ONF, and prior work on mobile vision models at SenseTime where he optimized sub-10ms gaze models. Based in Beijing, he pairs rigorous research training with production-grade software and test automation skills, often focusing on practical scalability and interoperability challenges that bridge optics and AI.

Contributions summary:Boyuan primarily contributed to the ONOS project by extending and modifying test scripts and helper functions related to the TAPI (Topology Abstraction Programming Interface) framework. Their work involved enhancing existing test scenarios to verify various functions like service creation and deletion, along with checking topology information. Furthermore, they implemented scripts to create and delete ODTN (Optical Transport Network) services and modified the TAPI helper functions to support both line-side and client-side connectivity services and to enable the random and ordered creation of line-side and client-side services. They also addressed a bug related to power configuration.
