Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), located in Cambridge, MA, is the North American R&D organization for Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a $40B global manufacturer of electrical products including elevator and escalators, HVAC systems, electrical power systems, satellites, factory automation equipment, automotive electronics and visual information systems. Controls researchers at MERL collaborate with corporate R&D laboratories, business units in Japan and the United States, and academic partners around the world to develop new control algorithms and control technologies that extend the capabilities and the performance envelope of these systems.
For students who are interested in pursuing an exciting research internship, and for PhD graduates interested in careers in our lab, please check our Website, Facebook, LinkedIn or @MERL_news for our internship program and open positions.
MathWorks
The MATLAB and Simulink product families are fundamental applied math and computational tools adopted by more than 6,500 universities and colleges. MathWorks products help prepare students for careers in industry, where the tools are widely used for data analysis, mathematical modeling, and algorithm development in collaborative research and new product development.
Quanser
With over 35 years dedicated to academia, Quanser has become the world leader in the design and development of cutting-edge solutions. These solutions form an interdisciplinary ecosystem that transform engineering education and accelerate research. Founded by Dr. Jacob Apkarian, then a passionate professor at the University of British Columbia, Quanser has grown from its academic roots to develop technologies that inspire and empower insightful discoveries in the fields of real-time control, robotics, autonomous systems, and applied AI.
Quanser has established long-term partnerships with prestigious institutions like the University of Manchester, Purdue University, and Tecnológico de Monterrey to turn traditional education into dynamic, hands-on learning. Quanser’s lab solutions and faculty-equivalent engineers create innovative and engaging educational environments where students experience invaluable “aha! moments” as they see theory come to life, and researchers can easily validate their theories in cutting-edge areas of technology. This has led students from the University of Manchester to remark, “This is the best lab we have ever had,” and professors from Purdue University to state, “They are agile in responding to emerging trends, tailoring their offerings to ensure curricula are up to date.”
