Thinking Clearly .

Our interns have been, as a group, quite remarkable: two of the five have completed interesting dissertations within a year of finishing their internships, and both of them got good jobs in industry (a cutting-edge startup and Oracle)—in fact, we tried to hire both of them, but apparently people who intern at Clark & Parsia are too special to work at Clark & Parsia. We’re the anti-google! :>

The other two are both pursuing PhDs, one in Manchester and the other in Prague. We’re expecting big things from both of them. Maybe the quality of the internship program will slip a bit and we’ll be able to hire these interns. Fat chance!

Markus Stocker, the fifth intern, who’s presently still working with us, continues to impress with hard work, intelligence, and good nature. He and Mike Smith are responsible for Owlgres, and now he’s added our XACML policy analysis suite to his oeuvre.

Like the man said: “and proud we are of all of them”.

Which brings me to this year’s Semantic Summer, our oh-so-cute name for our year-round internship program. We’ve put up a description of this year’s topics and areas of focus, which you can read on the Semantic Summer page.
