03 Interns
1 open Project-based · Bachelor's and above · Remote or on-site · 3-month minimum
-
What you'll work on
Design, implement and optimize core BrainEvent operators, including but not limited to:
• GPU kernel development: high-performance sparse matrix-vector kernels in CUDA / Triton / JAX Pallas, with compact spike indexing, warp-level optimization, and vectorized memory access.
• Auto-tuning: runtime-parameter-driven kernel dispatch (firing rate, network size, batch size).
• Benchmarking: build a systematic evaluation harness.
Results will be published at top venues.
Who we're looking for
• Undergraduate / Master / PhD students all welcome.
• Comfortable with Python; strong interest in high-performance computing.
• Preferred: CUDA, Triton, JAX, CuPy, or GPU performance tuning.
• Background in computational neuroscience or spiking networks is a plus.
• Three-month minimum commitment with immediate availability.
What you'll get
High-quality paper mentorship — lab work has appeared in Nature Communications, eLife, ICLR, and similar venues.
Competitive intern stipend.
Free fully-furnished apartment — just bring a suitcase.
Hengqin, Zhuhai — next to Macau, with year-round mild weather.
