Research Internships in Computer Science.

The research internships in computer science concern a various and rich set of questions, and illustrate the importance and the variety of today’s research topics in computer science. These questions go from theoretical problems to industrial applications, but always with a scientific or technological strong component.

The proposed internships come from a large set of proposals from the best academic and industrial research centers. They help to realize that innovating developments, in particular in the industrial world, are in most of the cases based on a strong corpus of theoretical knowledge. They also point out the complexity, of today’s computer systems. As an example, behind a simple processor is hidden all the computer-based chain of processes that go from the modular design up to the drawing of masks, including algorithms for symbolic proof of circuits. In a similar way, the complexity of the design of algorithms built to be executed on thousands of machines is of such a nature that this is not possible to hope for some correct behavior without some systematic methodology.

The students interested in a career related to research will find in these internships a way to confirm their vocation for a specific domain, and will discover the life of laboratories. The other students will become familiar with the world of research and innovation that most of them will meet in some way during their future career. These internships will also be for some of the students to choose a research oriented training, validated by a PhD, that is to say by the diploma considered as the reference in international computer science industry.
