From a very recent Physics grad:
“I wanted to pass on information about a summer internship program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that I think current Carls might be interested in. LLNL is hosting dozens of opportunities for students to work virtually with scientists and engineers on projects involving the National Ignition Facility, Fusion, High Energy and Density Sciences, Plasma Physics, Astrophysics, Machine Learning, Computer Simulations, and other fields. The two summers I spent in the program inspired me to pursue a PhD in fusion energy and I hope it will be just as inspiring to others!
Interested students can apply here. The program strongly recommends including a cover letter and at least one recommendation letter. If any Carls have any questions about the lab or how the program works in a virtual format, they’re welcome send me an email (maris@mit.edu).
Best,
Andrew
