Job Description:

Machine learning is having a transformative effect on many research areas, significantly altering the way many problems are approached, and the scope of what is achievable. is developing a by using femtosecond lasers to store data in glass. The project provides an unprecedented opportunity to completely re-think how storage systems are built, and build a storage technology that's end-to-end optimized solely for the cloud, from the materials level up to the user interface. Machine learning plays a critical role in the design and development of the technology, including: enabling unprecedented information density to be encoded and successfully read back, end-to-end optimization across hardware and software, and reinforcement learning control of different parts of the system.The Project Silica team is highly multi-disciplinary, comprising computer scientists, physicists, optical scientists, chemists, electrical and mechanical engineers, and designers. Tackling the hard technical challenges of making glass storage into a real technology presents a myriad of unique opportunities for cross-disciplinary research, including applying machine learning to completely new problem domains.Contract duration: 2 years.
