Internships and Student Projects
Launch Your Geotechnical Journey with LMS
Are you ready to help shape the future of sustainable geotechnical engineering? At the LMS Laboratory, part of the world-renowned Laloui Group at EPFL, we offer students the chance to engage in cutting-edge research that addresses global challenges—from energy geostructures and bio-cementation to CO₂ sequestration and nuclear waste storage.
Whether you’re an EPFL student seeking a semester project or a master’s thesis topic—or you have a bold idea of your own—you’ve come to the right place.
We regularly post new internship and student project opportunities on this page. But more than that, we actively encourage initiative: if you have a concept you’re passionate about and it aligns with our mission, let’s explore it together. Your creativity, paired with our expertise, could lead to the next breakthrough in geomechanics.
