Research Intern—Matrix and Tensor Algebra Theory and Applications

Introduction
IBM Research Scientists are charting the future of Artificial Intelligence creating breakthroughs in quantum computing discovering how blockchain will reshape the enterprise and much more. Join a team that is dedicated to applying science to some of today’s most complex challenges whether it’s discovering a new way for doctors to help patients teaming with environmentalists to clean up our waterways or enabling retailers to personalize customer service.

Your Role and Responsibilities
Mathematics involves discovering and using patterns to formulate and prove conjectures resulting in theorems. Defining new algebras or geometric characteristics with desired properties remains a challenge. Available approaches lack rigour and efficiency. During this internship the student will work with scientists from IBM Research UK and USA to advance the state-of-the-art methods for aiding the certifiability of mathematical results and streamlining the discovery process. Developed tools will be used to seek new connections between algebraic and geometric structures.
