Over the next few weeks, 126 undergraduate and graduate students from UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Merced and UC Santa Cruz — the four University of California campuses associated with the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) — will embark on eight-week paid summer internships as members of the fourth and final cohort of the CITRIS Workforce Innovation Program.
Six interns will work with the NASA Ames Research Center in a partnership between NASA, the Berkeley Space Center (BSC), and CITRIS and the Banatao Institute, addressing projects such as optimizing the aerodynamic design of rotor blades for extraterrestrial atmospheres and modeling the resilience of autonomous systems in Python.
