Confluences of Computing Lab (Confluence Lab, in short): ----------------------------------------------------------------We undertake interdisciplinary and exciting projects at the confluence of science, technology and society. Through various projects, we pursue democratization of computing and socio-technological development. We strive to be at the forefront of research, and at the same time, attempt for high societal impact!Our overarching interest is in designing and building computer systems and applications that were not built before, but are now possible, with novel computing paradigms and disruptive emerging technologies. We build future computer architectures, algorithms and software for specific application domains, with the target of making the end-systems extremely efficient, intelligent, trustworthy and usable. Our work in research and engineering, spans diverse topics in computer science and engineering, and especially many emerging unconventional computing paradigms, such as quantum systems, neuromorphic systems, data-centric systems, distributed edge systems, etc. We target various end application/business domains such as medical tech, education tech, space tech, cybersecurity tech, etc. as well as other related areas such as, scientific computing, industrial automation, software automation, etc. In each of these, we seek novel confluences of computing. About Hiring and Open Positions: -------------------------------------We are currently building my team/lab and so hiring for several positions. Apart from bachelor, masters and PhD students, there are other technical/non-technical roles too that are open. Technical roles vary from research to engineering; and students from BITS or outside are eligible to apply. Some of the roles are as follows: Research Associate, Project Associate, Software Architect, Computer Architect, Software Engineer, Data Engineer, Long-term Research Interns and Long-term Engineering Interns. I also encourage, early career, Technical Writers, Scientific Communicators, Finance Liaisons, etc. to apply. Contact Details: ------------------ Please drop an email to kunalk@goa-bits-pilani.ac.in if you are interested or would like to know more. We are open to hybrid work as well.
