What are the responsibilities and job description for the Internship - Geometry-Aware Surrogate Modeling for Fluid Dynamics position at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories?
The Computational Sensing team at MERL is seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student for a research internship in machine learning for fluid dynamics, focusing on surrogate modeling of free-surface flows in engineered geometries. The goal of this project is to develop geometry-aware and physics-informed surrogate models for complex flow systems, combining high-fidelity simulations with modern neural architectures. The ideal candidate will be a Ph.D. student in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, or related fields with a solid background and publication record in any of the following areas: operator learning, graph neural networks and geometric learning, particle-based methods, or differentiable simulation frameworks. Programming skills in Python and experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX are required. Publication of the results obtained during the internship is expected. The duration is anticipated to be at least 3 months with a flexible start date.
The pay range for this internship position will be $6-8K per month.
