and part-time summer internships in a university research setting to highly talented undergraduate and graduate students.\u00a0 The main goal of the program is to provide students with a real-world, team-based research experience in various topics related to wireless technologies.\u00a0 Each intern joins an active research group consisting of a mix of graduate and undergraduate students with at least one mentor who is a faculty member.\u00a0 All projects are designed to be completed within the duration of the program, but can also be extended for eligible students to the following academic year.\u00a0 Each week students are expected to report on the progress of their work in a summer research group meeting.\u00a0 At the conclusion of the program, interns submit a report and are required to give a final presentation on the research results.\u00a0 A limited number of full-time internship students receive a monthly stipend plus an on-campus room in designated Rutgers dormitories (<strong>available for non-Rutgers, full-time interns ONLY!<\/strong>). Additional students will be offered part-time (hourly) summer employment. The opportunity for non-paid participation may also exist once the paid positions are distributed. Should you be interested in one of those positions if not chosen for a paid position, please make sure to indicate that on your application. The program for 2024 will be <strong>fully in person<\/strong> and will begin on Tuesday, May 28th and end on Wednesday, August 7th. Please note that the WINLAB facility is NOT on any of the Rutgers bus routes and that getting to\/from the lab requires personal transportation.\u00a0<\/p><p>To apply for the 2024 WINLAB Summer Internship Program, students must be currently enrolled full time in a college or university, be eligible to work in the US, have an anticipated graduation date of 2025 or later, and complete the following five steps:<\/p><ol><li>Obtain a copy of your transcript.\u00a0 If you are a Rutgers student, an unofficial copy is sufficient.<\/li><li>Please obtain two letters of reference.\u00a0 Letters of reference should be submitted to internship (AT) winlab (DOT) rutgers (DOT) edu by faculty at your home institution or past job supervisors who can assess the quality of your academic performance and research potential. If you are a Rutgers student and will be using a WINLAB professor(s) as your reference(s), you do not need a letter of reference from them.\u00a0 Simply list the name of the professor(s) in the reference section of the application form since the WINLAB faculty will be asked for input regarding any student who lists them as a reference.<\/li><li>Write a brief essay (no more than one page) on why you would like to join the program, what strengths you will bring to the program and what you hope to achieve by being included in the program.\u00a0 Please see the list of research topics at the bottom of this page and advise which projects peak your interest.\u00a0 Please understand that we cannot promise that you will be assigned to the project you ask for, however, we will make an effort to put accepted students in their areas of interest.<\/li><li>Prepare a CV\/resume.<\/li><li>Complete\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/bhZB89fTUkgW5jmL9\">the application form<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0with the above transcript, essay and CV uploaded no later than April 14th.

The data embedded in these sensors encodes various types of the user\u2019s private information (e.g., text input, voice commands, conversations, etc.), which can cause severe privacy breach if they are exposed to an adversary. This project aims to study sensor data management in commercial VR headsets (e.g., Meta Quest, HTC Vive Pro). Students working on this project will learn how to collect sensor data from the VR headset &amp; controllers and analyze the potential of private information leakage. They will also develop privacy protection techniques to counteract the privacy leakage.<\/td><td>OS: Windows, Linux<br \/>Software: Unity, C#, C\/C++<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>:<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer Internship 2024 WINLAB Summer Internship The WINLAB Summer Internship Program offers full and part-time summer internships in a university research setting to highly talented undergraduate and graduate students.\u00a0 The main goal of the program is to provide students with a real-world, team-based research experience in various topics related to wireless technologies.\u00a0 Each intern joins [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":276,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"ocean_post_layout":"","ocean_both_sidebars_style":"","ocean_both_sidebars_content_width":0,"ocean_both_sidebars_sidebars_width":0,"ocean_sidebar":"0","ocean_second_sidebar":"0","ocean_disable_margins":"enable","ocean_add_body_class":"","ocean_shortcode_before_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_after_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_before_header":"","ocean_shortcode_after_header":"","ocean_has_shortcode":"","ocean_shortcode_after_title":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_bottom":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_bottom":"","ocean_display_top_bar":"default","ocean_display_header":"default","ocean_header_style":"","ocean_center_header_left_menu":"0","ocean_custom_header_template":"0","ocean_custom_logo":0,"ocean_custom_retina_logo":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_height":0,"ocean_header_custom_menu":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_family":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_subset":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_size":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_unit":"px","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_line_height":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_unit":"","ocean_menu_typo_spacing":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_unit":"","ocean_menu_link_color":"","ocean_menu_link_color_hover":"","ocean_menu_link_color_active":"","ocean_menu_link_background":"","ocean_menu_link_hover_background":"","ocean_menu_link_active_background":"","ocean_menu_social_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_links_color":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_color":"","ocean_disable_title":"default","ocean_disable_heading":"default","ocean_post_title":"","ocean_post_subheading":"","ocean_post_title_style":"","ocean_post_title_background_color":"","ocean_post_title_background":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_image_position":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_attachment":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_repeat":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_size":"","ocean_post_title_height":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay":0.5,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay_color":"","ocean_disable_breadcrumbs":"default","ocean_breadcrumbs_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_separator_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_hover_color":"","ocean_display_footer_widgets":"default","ocean_display_footer_bottom":"default","ocean_custom_footer_template":"0","footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2974"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2974"}],"version-history":[{"count":117,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3430,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2974\/revisions\/3430"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress3.cosmos-lab.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
