With a culture built on innovation and operational excellence, LLNL is a place where your expertise can make a real impact.
Job Description
We have multiple openings for Machine LearningGraduate Student Interns to engage in practical research experience to further their educational goals. You will work on multidisciplinary projects, such as development of classical empirical and machine learning interatomic potentials, discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs), numerical solutions of partial differential equations to model material behavior at continuum scale and analysis of large atomic datasets. These positions are in in the Equation of State Materials Theory Group of the Physics Division of the Physical & Life Sciences Directorate.
This position requires full-time on-site presence due to the nature of the work.
You will
Develop parallel C/C++/Python codes to train, test and evolve (a) PDEs (for phase field and phase field crystal models) discovered from data, and (b) interatomic potentials developed from quantum simulations.
Explore the use of machine learning methods to discover and evolve PDEs for phase field and phase field crystal models.
Analyze results, provide weekly updates and present work at poster sessions
Review literature in the field of study, document results and write papers.
Perform other duties as assigned.
