Internship(s) Description

Tremendous research opportunity(ies) is (are) available to work on cutting edge AI/ML AND/OR metamaterial optics (meta- optics) projects for self-motivated part time or full time candidates open to learning new technologies. For a three to six month engagement [extendable], at 20 to 40 hours per week, the candidate will work on projects associated with designing, developing, prototyping, and testing advanced research topics in deep learning AND/OR simulation, optimization, inverse design, and testing of metasurface photonic / meta-optic devices. The work can potentially lead to filing patent applications and publishing technical papers.

Qualifications

Part time or full time candidates or students pursuing or who have completed a Master’s degree or Doctorate in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Applied Physics, Physics or other relevant disciplines with a background in deep learning AND/OR knowledge of electromagnetism, optics, image processing / computer vision, and the relevant math (e.g., linear algebra, partial differential equations, statistics) and numerical simulations, is desired. Additional requirements are as follows:

Machine learning/deep learning skills  

• Strong programming and math/physics skills;
• Experience in quick prototyping and scientific research methods (e.g., reading technical papers);
• Experience in Python, pandas, numpy, scikit learn, etc.;
• Experience in deep learning frameworks including Tensorflow, PyTorch, or Keras;
• Experience in machine learning including data cleaning, visualization, training from scratch, fine-tuning classifiers, etc.;
• Experience in neuromorphic computing (e.g., Intel Loihi or BrainChip Akida) or cybersecurity is a plus.
