About the role#
The Computational Sensing team at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories is looking for a Ph.D. student to join us for a 3-6 month internship. You will work on developing algorithms for background oriented schlieren (BOS) tomography. We expect interns to publish the results of their research during the term.
What you'll do#
- Develop algorithms for BOS tomography.
- Use analytical and learning-based architectures to reconstruct 3D air flows in indoor settings.
- Combine BOS measurements with physics-informed machine learning.
What you'll need#
- You must be a Ph.D. student.
- Experience with differentiable or physics-based rendering.
- A solid background and publication record in areas such as imaging inverse problems, large-scale optimization, differentiable scene rendering, fluid flow modeling, or physics-informed neural networks.
- Preferred skills include experience with schlieren tomography, inverse rendering, Gaussian fluid parametrization, neural scene representation, or computational imaging hardware.
Location & details#
- Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts.
- Modality: On-site.
- Compensation: 6,000 to 8,000 dollars per month.
- Benefits: Includes a relocation stipend, travel coverage, and a monthly Charlie Card for commuting. Interns are eligible for health insurance after a 90-day waiting period. We provide immigration support if needed.
- Sponsorship: Available for qualified candidates.

How to get in at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories
Securing an internship at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories requires timing. Because early applicants are often reviewed before the candidate pool becomes unmanageable, you should use Intern Insider to receive an instant alert the moment a new role is published. This helps you submit your materials among the first candidates. Reaching out to the right person is equally important. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company's roles, allowing you to contact them directly to ask about the position or a potential referral. This direct outreach often improves your response rates compared to submitting an application through a standard queue.
