I am very proud to announce that I have completed my 2nd year interning at NAVSEA, this time under the NREIP program! I feel very privileged to say that I worked on such a meaningful project here at Fathomwerx, contributing to the mission of the Navy. A special thanks to Dr. Ramon Flores, Ms. Oralia Razo, Nick Willis, Alan Jaeger, and Armen Kvryan, Ph.D., who supported and created such a innovative project for me this summer. I would also love to give a big thanks to my amazing mentor Sara Centeno who organized the opportunity for my team and I to connect with professionals specific to our project. Lastly, thank you to AR/VR team: Jorje Ayala, Ricardo Angel, and Eric Espinoza. I've learned so much from my team and feel I've grown greatly in both my personal and professional life these past 12 weeks. Thank you to everyone who made this experience such a memorable one.

#InternImpacts 💥 Meet Jordan (David) Giandrea, one of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Summer NREIP Interns! His dedication to quantum optics has been exciting to watch as he has contributed to some of NRL's cutting edge research. What has he been working on? 💥Quantum Optics and Machine Learning Applications: Jordan's work involves applying machine learning techniques to optimize quantum memory experiments. This could have significant implications for future quantum technologies, such as quantum computers and secure communication networks. Challenges: Quantum systems are incredibly sensitive to noise and environmental factors. Machine learning can help to mitigate these challenges by identifying optimal experimental conditions and improving the reliability of quantum operations. 💥Impact on the Navy's Mission Quantum Advantage: The Navy is investing in quantum information technologies to gain a strategic advantage. Jordan's research contributes directly to this goal by developing and improving the building blocks of quantum systems. Future Applications: Quantum technologies have the potential to revolutionize areas such as cryptography, sensing, and materials science. The Navy's investment in quantum research ensures that it is well-positioned to leverage these advancements. "I've really enjoy being able to work with cutting-edge technology every day and having the freedom to experiment with things on my own. I also appreciate the support and instruction from the researchers I have been working with and my mentors, Dr. Adam Black and Dr. Abbie Watnik" Overall, Jordan's internship at NRL is a valuable experience that is shaping his career path and contributing to the advancement of quantum technology.

Hi everyone, I recently completed my second internship with the Naval Information Warfare Center! This summer, I designed and fabricated an enclosure to house the lab’s 5G network servers for future deployments. My main objectives when designing the enclosure were to ensure it would be tough, easy to use, and provide fan cooling to ensure the servers would run smoothly. (See the poster below for more information if interested) This internship was an insightful experience, and I learned a lot of lessons this summer, including: -The importance of communicating with my supervisor when experiencing obstacles -It’s okay to make mistakes – if you learn from them -Creativity is needed when encountering unique problems -Value of having a good work-to-life balance -How to better prioritize tasks and manage my time more effectively A big thank you to my mentor Michael Anderson for teaching me and guiding me as I grow as an engineer and person. And another big thank you to Tekali Arnold and Christina Roc for all the work they do behind the scenes to make these internships possible.

NRL Interns and New Hires Visited HSC-2 and the USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) On August 15 a group of summer interns and recent hires from the Tactical Electronic Warfare Division (TEWD) of NRL toured Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 2, and the USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) at the Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. HSC-2, the "Fleet Angels", operate the Sikorsky MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter and trains pilots and aircrewmen to employ the MH-60S worldwide in a variety of missions, including fleet logistics support, search and rescue, medical evacuation, special warfare support, anti-surface warfare and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief. The USS Bainbridge is an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer and has gone on numerous deployments. From August 2007 to February 2008 she served in the role of the flagship of Standing NATO Maritime Group 1, participating in numerous activities and port visits over the course of the deployment. The ship gained greater renown for her role in the Maersk Alabama hostage rescue in 2009, when she successfully facilitated the rescue of the ship’s captain with the assistance of an embarked SEAL team. NRLs group was hosted by fleet representatives that explained the operations of the command, described various systems and equipment, and discussed the complexities of doing fleet experimentation in support of new research programs. Pictured on the foredeck of the DDG-96 are: Michael Stanfill, Gianmarco Huaytan, Neeraj Tatikola, Rossalynn Lynch, Evan Allen, Matthew Enavusa, Xiwei Zhao, Benjamin Yu, Nevin Jestus, Peggy Davidson, and David Lechner. #NavalSTEM #interns #STEM #navy #usnavy #NRL #innovate #people #disasterelief #resiliency #USSBainbridge US Navy United States Department of Defense

#InternImpacts 💥 Josh Wager, a U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) intern and Old Dominion University junior, is making waves in the world of physics! He's currently characterizing lasers for atomic physics experiments at NRL. Josh is measuring the lasing threshold, output power, and frequency spectrum of these lasers. He's also planning to stabilize the laser frequencies using modulation transfer spectroscopy in an atomic vapor cell. Josh's work is helping to advance our understanding of atomic physics and could have applications in fields like quantum computing and precision measurement. #NRL #Internship #Science #Physics #FutureScientists #NavalSTEM Old Dominion University US Navy United States Department of Defense

Science Engineering Apprenticeship Program interns took part in an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Maneuvering and Seakeeping Basin and the David Taylor Model Basin at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Md., Aug. 1, 2024. The tour featured a ride on a carriage in the DTMB’s high-speed section, where interns observed a towed model at various speeds and learned how engineers test ship performance in different conditions. Additionally, the interns explored the MASK facility, walking behind the wave-generating paddles to witness the inner workings of the Navy’s indoor ocean testing technology. #carderock Carderock is a leading Navy research and development facility in West Bethesda, specializing in the testing and evaluation of next-generation surface and underwater vessels.
