Research Scientist Intern, Ultrasonic Sensing (PhD)
Meta
Research Scientist Intern, Ultrasonic Sensing (PhD)
Job Description
Understanding how ultrasonic waves propagate through the human body has many important applications for AR/VR. However, this problem is still largely unexplored and extremely complex to model. Meta is leading a cutting-edge investigation in this space, relying on world-class experts. In this position, you will join Meta's ultrasonic sensing team to investigate the propagation of ultrasonic waves in complex media using both experiments and simulations, explore different ultrasound carrier frequencies, modulation waveforms, launch configurations, transducers and body coupling, and estimate fundamental wave propagation parameters, such as dispersion, attenuation, and group velocity. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
