Nokia Bell Labs is the world-renowned research arm of Nokia, having invented many of the foundational technologies that underpin information and communications networks and all digital devices and systems. This research has produced ten Nobel Prizes, five Turing Awards, and numerous other awards. The Data & Devices Department is part of the AI Research Lab, which has a long tradition of excellence in research and currently consists of more than 80 staff members with expertise ranging from computer science to experimental condensed matter physics.
We develop the devices and AI that will seamlessly integrate the physical world and human physiology into the future network of everything. We develop innovative materials, devices, and machine learning techniques that can continuously and non-invasively interface, sense, and actuate the physical world. We emphasize individual creativity and value both fundamental research contributions and advances that could potentially expand Nokia’s human-centric product offerings.
