About The Roux Institute


The Roux Institute is designed as an engine of innovation, talent-building, and economic growth for Portland, Maine, and northern New England. We are nurturing an environment for high-impact research and innovation in computer and data science, digital engineering, the advanced life sciences and medicine, and other tech fields. Partnership is what sets our education and research model apart. With leading companies at the table from day one, we are creating an agile workforce prepared to thrive in a competitive landscape powered by artificial intelligence as a force for good, and an environment for innovation in the life sciences and other high- growth sectors. Together, we envision an innovation corridor that in the coming years will stretch from Boston to Portland and beyond.



Research Intern - Wind Turbine Engineering




We are seeking a graduate-level research intern to join our team in the Engineering Research department at the Roux Institute at Northeastern University. The intern will have the opportunity to contribute to an exciting project focused on wind farm flow control and the development of nacelle transfer functions for wind turbine measurements.


The project aims to correct errors in wind speed and direction measurements taken by the sonic anemometer, which is located downstream of the rotor. By developing nacelle transfer functions that adjust these values based on turbine performance, relative wind direction, and wind speed, we can improve the accuracy of the measurements. The intern will be responsible for evaluating actual wind farm data and developing an algorithm that provides the nacelle transfer function.


As a research intern, you will work with Python to filter and model wind plant data. You will also have the opportunity to develop and test nacelle transfer function algorithms that can be applied to future wind farm flow control data analytics and control projects. Prior experience in data analytics with Python is required, and knowledge of wind energy principles is preferred.
