Projects

Interns will develop research agendas with their mentor/advisor(s) at the outset of the internship. Projects range from human machine teaming to mesh networking and resilient communications. Throughout the program, interns will contribute to ongoing research efforts, participate in technical discussions and collaborative problem-solving, and present their findings at the conclusion of the internship experience. We value curiosity, experimentation, and learning by doing. When challenges or setbacks arise, they are viewed as chances to reflect, improve, and continue progressing with resilience and accountability. Along the way, mentors will support interns by defining goals and expanding skills, to realize their full potential.
