Subject of internship: Real time Tsunami risk mitigation.
I worked on an algorithm developed by a past intern. My main job was to convert this algorithm from a language to an other to optimize it. What I think about the place: It's a Nice environment, mainly for a university. There's everything for students near the university (supermarket, bars, restaurants, places to have fun and practice sports). Also, the university help us for everything about the visa and the accommodation. I would come back, it was a great experience. I met people who did everything for make us enjoyed our summer. I built friendships for life. People at work were nice and there when I had needed something.

I'm from Calcutta, India. I'm doing an internship for two months at the Stream Data Analytics and Machine Learning Laboratory, Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics. I am currently helping in research projects in Machine Learning. We are researching on available machine learning algorithms and trying to improve them. I am fairly satisfied with the internship. My supervisor and teammates are very encouraging and helpful.
Akademgorodok is a really nice place and, mostly from what I have heard and from my own little experience , quite different from other cities in Russia. The people here have been friendlier than I had expected and I have not had any difficulty so far.
I am doing a Masters degree program back in India, at the Department of Statistics, Pondicherry University. The knowldege from this internship would, I believe, help me get better grades back in India and maybe help me get jobs later on. So far it has been a great experience in Siberia and I will take away only positiveness from Russia when I go back.
