Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers, who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.
Join the Applied Sciences group in the Windows organization to push the frontier of neural rendering and generative 3D/4D for digital humans and interactive characters. We explore image-to-3D, Gaussian splatting, neural/implicit scene representations, diffusion-based 3D and 4D generation, speech-/text-driven facial animation, and controllable character behaviors. Projects span high-fidelity offline research to efficiency-minded prototypes, with an emphasis on scientific rigor, reproducibility, and user-centric evaluation.
