From Alessandro:

I am seeking to recruit a PhD or Master’s student with a background in Computer Science or Engineering and experience in privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, etc.) for a short-term collaborative project with a well-known security company. The project focuses on applying privacy-preserving methods within a real consumer-facing product. I anticipate the work to span a few months. This opportunity could take the form of a paid Summer 2026 internship or paid part-time research assistant work during the academic year. The selected student will receive funding and will be a co-author on the paper we plan to produce based on the project. 

If interested, please send an email to acqu...@mit.edu with CV and “Privacy-preserving project application” in the subject line.
