Your 20s are the best way to try, fail, achieve and experiment. The #US #market is in #shambles and well, we still managed to get internships. Well, here's something that I've wanted to do for a really long time. Listen to this insightful podcast from me, with UTKARSH NANDA and Minal Kyada, Interns at Argonne National Laboratory and Intel Corporation. We are Graduate Students in Computer Science at Illinois Institute of Technology. https://lnkd.in/gQxtJPwn

You should Intern at a National Laboratory in Summer '25. I spent an extended internship (summer and fall) in beautiful Oak Ridge, Tennessee at the ORNL facility where I had the opportunity to work on the Jaguar Super Computer and an early prototype of a storage protocol that the industry would adopt in a short few years (parallel-NFS). Apart from being surrounded in nature and experiencing the warm Tennessee culture, the research environment gave me the opportunity to dive deep into the problems that I was obsessed about. A few years later, a manager from a tech company in Silicon Valley called me. "Hey that internship you did at ORNL - tell us more about that" In a month I was on a one-way flight to Silicon Valley - the tech bro dream. The economy may be in a slump, the job market may concern you but the National Laboratories of USA are still hiring. These labs are decoupled from the stock market and work on research problems several decades into the frontier. They are funded by entities like the Dept of Energy, Dept of Transportation etc. Its also a fantastic way to set yourself apart from other candidates. If you happen to work on a technology that the industry is going to eventually adopt plenty of companies will want you - you'll be surprised to know this happens more often than you think. And if you like it, some of them even hire H1B's so you can pursue a real career in Science and Research. So consider a National Laboratory in Summer '25, it could be a real experience!

As March approaches, I am proactively exploring internship opportunities to enhance my comprehension of the industry while further developing my skills in the field of computer science.

🌟 Celebrating My Lead Authorship and Our Quantum Research Paper from a Summer at the QED-C! 📜✨ This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to be a Quantum Research Intern at the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), managed by Stanford Research Institute (SRI International). During my time there, I explored new ground, shifting my focus from quantum error correction to quantum Hamiltonians. One of the most rewarding outcomes was that our work resulted in a paper where I was honored to be the primary-author. It’s a significant step in my research career, and I’m grateful to have been part of such a meaningful project. I also had the chance to contribute to the QED-C Application-Oriented Benchmarking framework, where we added a new module for benchmarking the performance of quantum Hamiltonians—this is the focus of the paper. 👉 You can read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eFVugStd 👉 Explore the QED-C Application-Oriented Benchmarking framework on GitHub here: https://lnkd.in/eAuPvc-3 I’m deeply thankful to my fellow interns, Sonny Rappaport and Anish Giri,  and to all my co-authors Sonika Johri, Timothy Proctor, David Esteban Bernal Neira, Pratik Sathe, especially Tom Lubinski for his guidance and mentorship as I navigated this new area. I also want to thank Jonathan Felbinger for fostering a collaborative and supportive environment—I miss our weekly chats! Lastly, none of this would have been possible without Celia Merzbacher who helped me get started with the internship process. Special appreciation goes to my advisor Swaroop Ghosh for his guidance, and to Debarshi Kundu for being a pillar of support through both good days and bad. This experience took me from confusion to clarity, with plenty of "quantum highs" along the way. Check out the article featuring my internship experience, published on the QED-C blog here: https://lnkd.in/g6SBMNMb #QuantumResearch #QuantumComputing #QEDC #SRI #FirstAuthor #InternshipExperience #ResearchJourney #QuantumHamiltonians #Hamiltonians

Three takeaways from Catherine Tan's Foreign Policy Research Institute paper have major implications--for the various workaround #roundabouts for trade, in which Silk Road and transactional 25 states will play a greater role; for commodities trade; and for how the U.S. plans to address this. This paper ties in with comments by Mohammed Soliman and Vincent Carchidi (also at @FPRI); with what Gregg Hill and Jesse Coors-Blankenship and Peter Tchir and Michelle Michot Foss spoke about at the Newport Global Summit and U.S. Naval War College #NATSEC symposium, and what Adrian Gvosdev Kranz has been tracking. US semiconductor export controls have disrupted China’s chip industry, but loopholes, especially in cloud computing, allow some workarounds. China’s dominance in rare earth elements and mature node chip production poses a potential threat to global supply chains if they retaliate. Export controls could push China toward semiconductor independence, requiring policymakers to adapt strategies for emerging technologies.

🌟 Inspiring the Next Generation at the University of Manchester! 🌟 It was such an honor to speak with the bright and ambitious students at the University of Manchester, where I had the chance to share insights on two topics close to my heart: 1️⃣ The Power of Early Internships- especially through amazing initiatives like the 10,000 Black Interns. There’s nothing quite like getting hands-on experience early in your career. 2️⃣ The Value of Data in Today’s World- #Data is the new currency. Whether in business, science, or everyday life, being able to understand and leverage data can unlock doors to innovation and success. 😁 The energy and curiosity in the room were contagious! It's clear that this generation is ready to embrace the future with open arms, and I’m excited to see how they will shape the world. 💡 To anyone considering applying for an internship, especially through programs like #10kBlackInterns, take the leap. It’s an experience that can truly transform your career journey. 🚀 Special shout out to the 10,000 Black Interns foundation, the team & Tiyana Henriques for the opportunity. #10kBlackInterns #DataDrivenFuture #UniversityOfManchester #InternshipOpportunities #CareerGrowth #DataIsPower
