Overview

The Resilient Energy Systems Intern Institute (RESII) is an innovative program that is focused on providing undergrad and graduate students with exciting and challenging opportunities to progress their science and engineering foundation.  Our student interns will support the Resilient Energy Systems Mission Campaign.  The Mission Campaign is a 7-year multimillion-dollar internal R&D investment that involves research and development from brilliant minds across the Labs. The goal of the Mission Campaign is to develop a more resilient U.S. energy grid and critical energy infrastructure system to threats and attacks. 

Students will be exposed to state-of-the-art testing facilities, labs and capabilities.  Working in collaboration with their project team and mentors, graduate interns will participate in science and engineering research with National Security impact.
