Research Intern (part-time) at Fujitsu's Converging Technology Laboratory (Santa Clara, CA)
The Converging Technology Laboratory (CT Lab) at Fujitsu specializes in combining research in multiple technical fields to address values in the increasingly diverse society. We believe this situation requires a new approach to combine multidisciplinary knowledge including natural science, and humanities. We strive to provide an evidence-based scientific approach to shape public policies and economic activities.
We are seeking exceptional researchers to join our CT Lab at our office in Silicon Valley. This position provides an opportunity to solve social problems such as environmental issues, and social costs from a data-driven approach. We value individuals with vision to pick up new knowledge, see through complex scenarios and arrive at simple, elegant yet workable solutions. Self-driven nature, creativity, communication skills, and attention to details are traits of a successful researcher in this role.
The internship duration is for a minimum of 8 weeks and extendable beyond that.
Job responsibilities
Research on topic(s) including but not limited to developing digital twin models to accurately reflect environmental behavior like wind currents. Application of novel approaches to tackle problems in disciplines handled by traditional computational methodologies, leveraging Machine Learning, Generative AI and other techniques.
Assist our research staff to integrate diverse data types and AI/ML models from multi-disciplinary sources into our Social Digital Twin processing pipeline, from ingestion through transformation to visualization. Experience with rapid prototyping of end-to-end ML/AI pipelines using Pytorch is a plus.
Publish research papers in scientific journals and conferences. Showcase the work via presentation in talks, conferences, workshops, and competitions.
Requirements
Currently enrolled in a Master or PhD program in applied math, engineering or a relevant research area in applying computational methods and artificial intelligence techniques to tackle problems in the physical or environmental disciplines.
Track record of coming up with new ideas or improving upon existing ideas in computing, demonstrated by accomplishments such as course projects, or competitions.
Ability to collaborate effectively with multiple researchers, both written and verbally.
Experience in evaluating tools and technologies in processing data from diverse but specialized fields of science.
