Adela-Diana Almasi Polytechnic University in RomaniaPhD Student, Computer ScienceGreater Minds 2012

"I am currently developing a learning algorithm for a neural network on a graphics card. While it’s quite close to my interests in machine learning and distributed/parallel computing, it has offered me the chance to gain more practical experience in this field. The manager who I had the phone interview with took a direct interest to find the most suitable project that matched my experience and interests. This says a lot about the way IBM values its employees."

At the end of the day, what can be better than working in the field that you enjoy most in a top company? Here I feel very lucky to have the chance to gain experience in exactly the field I like and work towards innovative results."
