Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers, who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment. We are a systems and networking research group at Microsoft Research. We do research in multiple areas of networking, security, systems, and artificial intelligence (AI). We build working systems, engage with academia, publish scientific papers, publish software for the research community and deploy cutting-edge technologies to Azure and our customers. Our group has published in top academic conferences including ACM SIGCOMM, ACM MobiCom, ACM MobiSys, USENIX NSDI, IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, ISCA and SOSP. We have had massive impact on the Azure Network by productizing research technologies including Software Defined Networking, Hardware-accelerated Datapath, and Network Verification, and on Azure for Operators with Network Function Virtualization & Cloudification, Open radio access network (RAN), Network Programmability, and AI Operations. We have also made significant contributions to the design of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) security for datacenter hardware and the broader DRAM industry.
