Intern experience

“My Summer internship at Microsoft was one of the best summers I’ve ever had! I enjoyed the friendly environment, the meaningful and socially important projects, and my always happy to help mentors.” – Alexey Romanov

“The MSRNE Internship was one of the highlights of my academic career. The internship provided me with the freedom to lead a new research project that I was passionate about, while also providing the structure and mentorship to take my research in new directions.” – Michaelanne Dye

“I felt supported by the process at Microsoft Research, to take on what may seem intimidating, especially for social science and humanities students: tackling a research project in 12 short weeks. The internship was an invaluable experience for my intellectual and professional development.” – Penny Trieu

“Henry [Cohn] was an exceptional mentor; besides all the math I learned from him, during my time in the lab I could witness how passionate and original he is with his work, both qualities that I aspire to keep for my own research career. I am very thankful I had the privilege to meet so many smart and kind people during my internship.” – Kim Villalobos Carballo
