SRI’s Information & Computing Sciences Division is taking on some of the world’s most important challenges, creating leading-edge technology solutions that have revolutionary impact.   Our researchers are redefining the way human beings interact with machines and with one another through machines, as we define what’s next in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computing for the real world.    SRI’s Computer Science Laboratory develops leading-edge tools and methods for areas including computer security, high-assurance systems, advanced user interfaces, computer networking, robotics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. We study the logical foundations of scalable systems beyond the scope of traditional testing or simulation, and we create and apply high-level tools for rigorous mechanical analysis.    The Neuro-Symbolic Computing and Intelligence Research Group at the CSL lab of SRI is looking for motivated summer interns who will have an opportunity to actively participate in the cutting-edge research on reliability and assurance of deep learning models with a focus on foundation, large language and vision-language models. You will work closely with our team of experienced researchers, gaining hands-on experience and exposure to real-world challenges in the field of artificial intelligence. Our goal is that summer interns will submit their research findings as lead author to top machine learning conferences.

In 2023, the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) joined SRI, bringing together two iconic Silicon Valley research organizations to build, expand, and scale capabilities, and offer an even more diverse technology set for our government and commercial customers. It formed the foundation for SRI’s sixth division – the Future Concepts division. With expertise across numerous areas, including developing solutions for a more sustainable world and creating a digital future for the workplace, the division puts a premium on developing integrated concepts for complex problems and driving and catalyzing collaboration across SRI. The labs in the Future Concepts division focus on basic research and real-world applications by creating and maturing breakthrough technologies.   The Hardware Research and Technology Lab (HRTL) is looking for a 3- or 6-month intern in chemical engineering or chemistry to further our Oxygen Integrated Unit for Modular Biomass Conversion to Hydrogen (OXYIUM) project. This project seeks to build metal-amine polymers for selective oxygen capture from air, and to integrate these polymers into a small benchtop fixed-bed unit to evaluate performance. SRI will is looking for a talented intern to help scale up sorbent synthesis and develop benchtop fixed-bed units.
