Group 41--Summer Research Program Intern (Homeland Decision Support Systems)

The Homeland Decision Support Systems Group focuses on end-to-end system architectures design, decision support, and advanced analytics to enhance the protection of the homeland and U.S. interests overseas. In collaboration with industry and academia, we are working at the frontiers of AI to develop and integrate advanced decision support prototypes that can address national security needs in the land, sea, air, and space domains. We have deployed real-time enterprise and edge solutions that support the warfighters at multiple Combatant Commands across the globe, providing a measurable impact to their missions.

Our technical expertise spans deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, graph theory, big data architectures, operations research, and system autonomy. Our goal is to enhance national security by leading the nation in developing and deploying advanced decision support systems utilizing cutting edge AI and machine learning technologies.

Our group is seeking motivated graduate students and experienced undergraduates to assist with projects addressing homeland security challenges with software engineering, algorithm development, and/or machine learning. Summer student assignments may include research on state of the art algorithms in computer vision, reinforcement learning, and/or representation learning applied to challenging, real-world datasets. The candidate will work in a team-oriented development environment.Learn more about what our team does herehttps://www.ll.mit.edu/r-d/homeland-protection/artificial-intelligence-software-architectures-and-algorithms.

The summer internship program is open to candidates with varying educational levels, including those in the process of earning a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in a technical field such as Physics, Mathematics, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
