Undergraduate students (capstone project students)

Bachelor’s students at Chang Gung University interested in executing their capstone project in one of the lab’s research areas are encouraged to form a team of four and consult with us about potential research topics for their project. We can supervise capstone projects in either quantum computing (including quantum machine learning) or artificial intelligence.

For quantum computing projects, you are strongly encouraged to take Introduction to Quantum Computing in the fall semester. The course is open to both senior students and master’s students. You can also start learning quantum computing before taking the course. Please inquire with us about the learning materials if needed. Without an understanding of at least the basics of quantum computing you will not be able to carry out a project in the field.

Internships

From time to time, we offer internship opportunities through the IIPP and TEEP programs. The IIPP intake opens early each year and typically closes around July. The TEEP intake also opens early in the year, but since it is project-based, there is no strict application deadline. Approval is handled on a project-by-project basis by the PI.

Please note that both IIPP and TEEP internships are funded by their respective agencies (MOE or NSTC). The lab will not provide additional financial support. You will be responsible for covering your own flight and living expenses. The university offers affordable accommodation at a cost of TWD 520 per week per bed in a quad-room.

Prospective teaching assistants

Teaching assistant positions are sometimes available; please see the “Teaching” tab at https://renatawong.github.io/teaching/ for current opportunities and details. Please note that serving as a teaching assistant does not automatically imply membership in the lab.

Remote positions

Thank you for your interest in our lab. At present, we do not offer paid remote positions. Opportunities within the lab are primarily limited to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Chang Gung University. In exceptional cases, graduate students from other departments within Taiwan may be considered.

We do, however, welcome remote participants to join as unpaid members. Individuals who wish to collaborate are encouraged to propose a project for joint research with our lab.
