This work includes, for example, parameter estimation, automatic identification, voice recognition, and neural networks. Communications research is directed towards digital and optical communications and portable terminals. Electromagnetics projects include microwave and laser radars involving sensor design and engineering. Also of interest are electromagnetic scattering, propagation, clutter, and natural backgrounds. Mechanical aspects of radar and optical systems include control systems and qualification and test of assemblies, as well as design and fabrication.
System analysis is carried out to evaluate and define solutions to complex technical requirements.
UROP offers the opportunity to participate in research, working with professional staff as part of a Lincoln Laboratory group. These opportunities are principally electrical engineering and computer science, but can cover many other engineering and scientific areas. The Laboratory s Safety Office will notify the new employees and students of the date, time and location of the orientation. The Lincoln Laboratory is located 15 miles west of MIT in Lexington, Massachusetts, approximately 45 minutes by car from the campus. A shuttle service to and from campus is available during the work week.
