Michigan State University Adopts Theta EdgeCloud for AI Research

密西根州立大學採用 Theta EdgeCloud 進行人工智慧研究

Theta Labs, a pioneer in decentralized cloud infrastructure for AI, media, and entertainment, today announced that Michigan State University (MSU) will join University of Oregon (UO) as the second US academia customer to adopt Theta EdgeCloud for AI research. MSU’s Secure and Intelligent Things (SEIT) Lab, led by Associate Professor Qiben Yan, will leverage Theta’s advanced decentralized GPU infrastructure to drive innovation in AI, cybersecurity, and distributed systems.

人工智慧、媒體和娛樂去中心化雲端基礎設施領域的先驅Theta Labs 今天宣布，密西根州立大學(MSU) 將與俄勒岡大學(UO) 一起，成為第二家採用Theta EdgeCloud 進行人工智慧研究的美國學術界客戶。由 Qiben Yan 副教授領導的密西根州立大學安全與智慧物 (SEIT) 實驗室將利用 Theta 先進的去中心化 GPU 基礎設施來推動人工智慧、網路安全和分散式系統的創新。

MSU is a major Tier 1 research institution, adding a new dimension to Theta Labs’ academic collaborations in the US. As Theta expands its US cloud-based GPU infrastructure with locations in California, Texas and the Midwest, the company will also release the Beta of its fully hybrid cloud-edge computing platform in June 2025, which will incorporate an edge network of over 30,000 edge nodes operated by community members globally. The US and North America account for nearly one-third of these nodes, providing significant synergy to US-based customers.

密西根州立大學是主要的一級研究機構，為 Theta Labs 在美國的學術合作增添了新的維度。隨著Theta 在加州、德州和中西部擴展其基於雲端的GPU 基礎設施，該公司也將於2025 年6 月發布其完全混合雲端邊緣運算平台的Beta 版，該平台將包含超過30,000 個邊緣網路由全球社群成員營運的節點。美國和北美佔這些節點的近三分之一，為美國客戶提供了顯著的綜效。

Professor Qiben Yan is the director of MSU’s Secure and Intelligent Things (SEIT) Lab, which specializes in IoT security, AI privacy, blockchain resilience, and cybersecurity. His lab conducts cutting-edge research on safeguarding connected devices, systems, and networks from advanced cyber threats, and his work has been featured in top conferences (USENIX Security, ACM CCS, IEEE TIFS) and projects that have earned prestigious funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Qiben Yan 教授是密西根州立大學安全與智慧物聯網 (SEIT) 實驗室的主任，該實驗室專門研究物聯網安全、人工智慧隱私、區塊鏈彈性和網路安全。他的實驗室在保護互聯設備、系統和網路免受高級網路威脅方面進行前沿研究，他的工作已在頂級會議（USENIX Security、ACM CCS、IEEE TIFS）和專案中得到專題報道，這些專案獲得了美國國家科學院的著名資助科學基金會（NSF）。

The SEIT Lab focuses on developing secure, intelligent systems for IoT and AI applications, with an emphasis on distributed systems, federated learning, and blockchain-powered platforms. Some of their recent achievements include an NSF-funded project on adversarially robust AI for speech recognition and groundbreaking research on secure transaction frameworks for smart contracts. Prof. Yan's leadership has positioned the SEIT Lab as a hub for innovative solutions in cybersecurity and decentralized computing.

SEIT 實驗室專注於為物聯網和人工智慧應用開發安全、智慧的系統，專注於分散式系統、聯邦學習和區塊鏈驅動的平台。他們最近的一些成就包括美國國家科學基金會資助的一個關於用於語音識別的對抗性強大人工智慧的項目，以及關於智慧合約安全交易框架的突破性研究。在嚴教授的領導下，SEIT 實驗室成為網路安全和去中心化運算創新解決方案的中心。
