CS Ph.D. Student Gains Industry Insight at Apple

For many graduate students, an internship offers a chance to see how their research holds up outside the lab. Oytun Duran, a third-year computer science Ph.D. student, had that opportunity this summer at Apple. 

Duran spent nearly four months interning at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. His work during the internship focused on Apple’s Foundation Models, a series of generative AI models that power Apple Intelligence, and on the large-scale infrastructure and tooling around them.
