Externship

Every year, selected PhD students participate in an externship program at either IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY, or Almaden, CA. During the program, students continue to work on their IIDAI research project while collaborating closely with their IBM mentors.

Below is a list of participating students and their Illinois PIs:
