Description Arsenale Bioyards is aiming to make biomanufacturing via precision fermentation economically viable at industrial scale – for the very first time. Artificial intelligence plays a key role in our company: our goal is to automate every possible task, to let humans focus on the hardest challenges. We are looking for a motivated student to carry out a six month project with us, in which s/he will develop novel solutions to help us build the AI operating system behind our Lab. S/He will be using LLMs (Large Language Models) to this end, learning and building on techniques such as RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). The methods will be developed in Python and the student will have access to high-performance GPUs. The student will have the chance to work in a vibrant startup environment, and to develop impactful solutions to important problems.

Location: Pordenone / Work From Home friendly.
Duration: Six months
Note: paid thesis internship
Contact: raffaello.camoriano@polito.it
