PhD Candidate Fawz Naim advised by Dr. Ann Cook spent his summer on internship. When asked about his research, Fawz said: "I worked with Advanced Resources International in the Columbus office this summer as a Geoscience Intern. I am working to support the team in carbon capture and storage site assessment and detailed modeling studies. My work involves many things including data exploration, extracting meaningful data that can be used in Petrophysical analysis, and Static Earth Modeling. I am also assisting the team with interpreting well logs, and cores and developing porosity, permeability transforms from the existing data. I have solved some bottleneck issues by automating the well data preprocessing and filtering by creating an application that eases the workflow to import the data directly into software such as Petrel and Kingdom. In addition, I used machine learning to predict well logs to help with CCUS site assessment. Summing up everything, data reformatting, preprocessing, and statistical analysis along with subsurface interpretation for CCUS projects is what I have been doing this summer." Wishing Fawz all the best for fall semester and in his research endeavors as a scientist! #scienceisthefuture #SES #theearthisourclassroom #research

I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting an internship this summer with The Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation - University of Portsmouth. I will be working on a cutting-edge project titled "Inferring Causation from Correlation", which sits at the fascinating intersection of statistics, data analysis, and machine learning. The primary goal of this project is to develop methodologies for inferring causal structures from observational data. Despite the potential of these methods, they have yet to see widespread application in science. My work will involve: - Reviewing the existing literature and public implementations of causal inference algorithms. - Applying these algorithms to both real-world and synthetic datasets to evaluate their performance. - Exploring the causal behavior of physical processes in scientific data, with a special focus on astrophysics. While our primary focus will be on astrophysics, the methodologies developed through this research have the potential for broad application across many fields, including finance, healthcare, social sciences, and more. By understanding and optimizing causal inference, we can unlock new insights and drive innovation in diverse areas of study. By the end of the summer, we aim to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the conditions under which causality can be inferred, optimized algorithms for causal inference, and new insights into the causal structures of various phenomena. I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute to this innovative field and look forward to sharing updates on our progress! A massive thanks to SEPnet, Michelle Limbert, Amy Carroll , CCVW and the entire team at Queen Mary Careers and Enterprise for their support during my application process. #internship #cosmology #gravitationalphysics #causality #machinelearning #dataanalysis #astrophysics #research #finance #healthcare #innovation

I’m delighted to share that a couple of weeks ago NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration approved my internship proposal for summer 2025! Applications for 2026 (not a typo) will be open through January 31st, 2025. My supervisor, Amy MacFadyen, is the primary mentor on the project and is a fantastic supervisor. I highly recommend her mentorship as well as the rest of the oceanography team, who are a wealth of knowledge and experience. I will be a (mostly remote) co-mentor. A goal of this paid internship is to provide an opportunity for scholars from subsistence living communities to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate risks and impacts from a major oil or chemical spill using the GNOME modeling suite. Do you know a sophomore in a minority-serving university or college who might be interested? If so, please help spread the word! We are specifically looking to hire someone who: 🤓 Is interested in science 🌊 Wants to learn about oil spill fate and transport 🚀 Knows (or wants to learn) how to code in Python (I can guide on learning resources if needed) 🤹♂️ Seeks an opportunity to develop experience in project planning, development, implementation, and communication, and 🎣 Is a member of a subsistence living community that could benefit from "in-community" knowledge of these tools and resources. Even if this project doesn’t appeal, there are a variety of projects to choose from within the program, and accepted applicants to the program will be able to accept or to decline participation. Please let me know if you have any questions! I will pre-emptively address the elephant in the room by saying that, yes, we are in transition to a new administration and it seems that this administration is interested in implimenting Project 2025 in which it is stated NOAA “should be broken up and downsized” and, if NOAA is broken up and downsized, I have no idea what will happen to my job or this internship; however, I can guarantee that learning of how to craft a stellar application is an important skill that takes practice…and that no practice is wasted. I can also guarantee that I can help guide the development of that skill; so...I say we keep going for it, together, and consider that however far we get will be a win because important skills can be learned at any stage.

#Dear_network, I am pleased to announce that I have successfully completed my second task with Encryptix IRIS FLOWER CLASSIFICATION using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm KNN. The Iris dataset consists of three species: setosa, versicolor, and virginica. These species can be distinguished based on their measurements. My goal was to develop a machine learning model using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm to learn from these measurements and accurately classify Iris flowers into their respective species. By utilizing the Iris dataset, I trained a model that can classify Iris flowers into different species based on measurements of their sepals and petals. This method is widely used for introductory classification tasks. #Encryptix #newinternship #datascience

This summer I completed a physics research internship at the University of Birmingham. I joined the Quantum Interferometry group part of the Astronomy and Space research group at UOB. The focus of my internship was to develop a novel design of gravity gradiometer (a device that can measure changes in the local strength of gravity) that could be used on a drone. Such devices are often used in resource extraction as a non-destructive method of detecting areas of higher or lower mass density. They can also be used to pick up the presence of subsurface structures, and underwater navigation in submarines! My device used two commercial available geophones (L4c's), positioned vertically, which would respond to a varying gravitational field whose magnitude of response depends on distance. To eliminate seismic noise I carried out a process called "common-mode rejection" which allowed me to perform a coherent subtraction between the seismometers. Data was processed in real-time using a computer running ADVLIGORTS - the same control program used in LIGO. The device was modeled using Matlab and Simulink. To test the gradiometer I measured the noise on the output and compared it to the expected noise values, and found it was possible to tune the common mode rejection to reach the thermal noise floor of the L4c's in the frequency range desired. Initial testing of the device consisted of doing press-ups and lifting weights near the device, which lacked some degree of repeatability. To rectify this I built a frame and suspended from it a 20kg mass, which I could then actuate vertically using a coil and spring. I then drove the mass at a particular frequency, which was observed as a peak at the driving frequency in the frequency spectrum of the gradiometer output. In addition to this I modeled the response we expected in a variety of real-word scenarios using a model I implemented in Python. As part of the internship I was expected to present my progress in weekly group meetings. I also took part and presented in the QI group meeting (a multi-university mini-conference) in the lake district. A full write-up can be found on my github: (https://lnkd.in/dMbUWPR2) I really enjoyed my time this summer, so for that reason I am very grateful to all the members of the research group for making me feel welcome and part of the team! Seen below: my gradiometer, positioned on a floating table, next to the vertically oscillating mass.
