Description

The Turing team offers extensive training to the RFs with a focus on the three critical areas of skill building: engineering mentorship, research mentorship, and communication/story telling.

Together, the program addresses many important topics such as:

-
Tech Industry Effectiveness and Career Development: Team culture/philosophy, leveraging Microsoft resources, core competencies for research and engineering, setting short/medium-term career goals.
-
Engineering Skills: Development environment setup, Code reviewing, collaborative coding, designing code for testability, how to build a product, product lifecycle, software architecture, benchmarking, etc.

About the team

Culture:

With RFs from Microsoft Research Lab India and other product divisions of Microsoft in the same premises, Turing RFs will get to interact with a competent and vibrant peer group of 70+ other fellows.

They will also be able to attend talks by eminent scientists, interact with the top researchers and engineers at Microsoft, and from all over the world, who visit the lab.

There are common social and cultural activities as well as common mentoring sessions (such as on scientific writing or engineering skills) that the fellows will be able to participate in.
