Prospective Students

The Applied EM Group at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech) invites applications for short or long internships (starting anytime). The appointee will carry out research in collaboration with the JPL advisor, resulting in publications in the open literature. JPL and Caltech are a top research laboratory and university in the US.

 

Short or Long Internships in the following General Areas:

  1. RF and Microwave sensors

  2. EM scattering theory

  3. Low-frequency radio/radar imaging techniques

  4. Near field systems techniques


Candidates for the internship positions should be enrolled, in good standing, in Electrical Engineering, Applied Electromagnetics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related discipline or program. Students can be in undergraduate or graduate standing. US citizenship or US residency is required.

Please send an email describing your interests, and a curriculum vitae or resume to:
