Summer 2026 AI/ML Intern at The Washington Post

This summer I joined The Washington Post in Washington, D.C. as an Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning intern, as part of the 2026 Engineering & Business Operations Internship Program.

Working inside a newsroom gave me a very different view of the problems I study. In research I get to choose the benchmark; here the constraints came from real editorial workflows, real latency budgets, and a real bar for accuracy — where a plausible-but-wrong model output is not a metric regression but a credibility cost.

I’m grateful to my team and mentors for their guidance, and to the other interns for making the summer as much fun as it was instructive. It was a good reminder of why the trustworthiness questions in my research — what a model remembers, what it should be able to forget, and how confidently it should speak — matter well beyond the paper.
