This position is offered through the ANU Computing Internship (COMP3280/ COMP8830)

Company

Spark3D's mission is to democratise electronics manufacturing.

There are two internship projects on offer from Spark3D.

Project -    3D simulation of Spark3D printing process

 To better optimise our print outputs, we want to do a physics simulation of the printing process. This will allow us to try different print parameters virtually, and design better printers.

Deliverables  

   Crash goals

   1) create a 2D radially symmetrical representation of the key electrochemical processes in numpy.    

   Core goals

   2) create a 3D simulation in numpy

   3) accelerate the simulation on a GPU (using python libraries like pytorch or JAX)  

   Stretch goals

   4) verify the model accuracy against measured data

   5) modify print parameters in the simulation and investigate the impact

How to apply

Applications are invited from eligible students to apply for the Computing Internship courses COMP3280 or COMP8830. Eligibility details of COMP3280/ COMP8830 and further information about the Computing Internship can be found on the Computing Internship page. 

1. Eligible students can apply through the Computing Internship application form which will be available via the Computing Internship page between 29 March and 5 April. You can nominate multiple preferred Internship projects and host organisations through the one online application form. 
2. Eligibility and Room Available in degree to undertake COMP3280/COMP8830 will be assessed at the time of application.  If you do not meet the eligibility criteria or do not have room in your degree to fit COMP3280/COMP8830, your application will not be progressed.
3. Your application will require you to upload the following documents:

• an updated copy of your Resume, and
• an Expression of Interest (limit 350 words) for each organisation you wish to apply to (for organisations with multiple projects only submit one Expression of Interest but state clearly which project/s you wish to be considered for).

Applications open on Tuesday 29 March 2022 and will close on Tuesday 5 April 2022.
