PHI Lab Research Intern

Job Summary

Explore the frontier of physics and informatics during an internship with NTT Research. We are a basic research institute with our own computational and experimental laboratories in Sunnyvale, CA, USA. You will join our self-directed research scientists to work on fundamental scientific problems. You and your mentors will explore the frontier of physics and informatics. We respect academic freedom and always welcome innovative ideas.
