Finding an industrial internship that directly applies advanced physics can be a challenge for university students. When Naïla, a Master’s student in Applied Physics at EPFL (Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne), joined Comet for her internship, she stepped straight into real-world R&D. Over six months with the Design Verification Testing (DVT) team for RF-Generators, she characterized plasma chambers, debugged complex RF matchboxes, and discovered an unexpected scientific result in plasma dynamics. Here is her journey from campus theory to cutting-edge semiconductor engineering.
