💼 Open Intern Positions
Internship Opportunity: Secure Computing using FHE
Start Date: As soon as possible
Duration: 3 months (extendable with fellowship)
Description:
If you would like to participate in a research project to benchmark and develop secure schemes using FHE (Fully Homomorphic Schemes). We are looking for highly motivated undergraduate or graduate students to design and implement algorithms using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). These algorithms can vary across disciplines and projects including machine learning systems, database systems, etc.
The project will expose you to novel data management algorithms, programming with FHE, and the basics of secure computing including privacy preserving machine learning. Participants will collaborate with researchers form academics and industries from New Jersey Institute of Technology (USA), VaultTree (Ireland) and Indian Institite of Technology (BHU) (India).
Responsibilities:
- Design and write efficient, testable code using best practices
- Participate in algorithm design and conduct experiments
- Help write research papers
Requirements:
- Strong foundation in algorithms, programming, and databases
- Proficient in C/C++ and Java
- Currently enrolled in a UG/PG program in CS or related field
Application:
Send your CV and brief motivation to hkasyap.cse@iitbhu.ac.in with the subject: “Intern - Secure Computing using FHE”
Mentors:
Dr. Shantanu Sharma (NJIT, USA) – shantanu.sharma@njit.edu

Internship Opportunity: Secure Machine Learning
Start Date: As soon as possible
Duration: 3 months (extendable with fellowship)
Description:
Join a hands-on research project to evaluate and benchmark privacy attacks and defenses in federated learning systems. You'll be working on model poisoning, inference attacks, and their defenses. Ideal for students interested in secure and trustworthy machine learning, I stress this is very important area to explore and be ready for future.
Responsibilities:
- Reproduce attack/defense mechanisms in FL systems
- Run experiments and evaluate performance/robustness
- Write clean, maintainable code in PyTorch/TensorFlow
Requirements:
- Understanding of machine learning
- Python programming and ML frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow)
- Interest in privacy/security aspects of ML
Application:
