Hello everyone, I’m thinking about doing a research internship at a company or startup next year. Ideally, I’d be looking for something later in the year, around August, although the timing is flexible. I’m open to opportunities in the UK, US, EU, or Canada. I’m emphasising research because, although other types of internships, such as software engineering, are interesting to me, they’re not the best fit for my background. My interests are relatively broad, mostly around AI for science, mathematics, and code, as well as understanding large models. My current research is centred on topological and geometric machine learning. Much of my work focuses on developing probabilistic models over structured geometric domains such as graphs, simplicial complexes, and manifolds. It’s a happy mix of probabilistic modelling, differential geometry, and numerical analysis. I’m particularly interested in vector field applications and how to discretise domains so that probabilistic models preserve their underlying geometric structure. Some of the questions I’d be interested in exploring include how to develop machine learning methods that respect the geometric and topological structure of a problem, how to understand the behaviour of large models (and apply them to scientific problems), and how to use AI to develop new algorithms and advance mathematics. I’m not necessarily set on doing another internship (I’ve already done one), but I’d love to explore opportunities if there’s a good match between my research interests and what a team is working on. If anyone knows of teams, companies, startups, or researchers who might be a good fit, I’d be very interested in hearing about them.
